Hanson to Brew "MMMhop" Beer

Let’s face it: if you were a Hanson fan in the mid ‘90s, you might just now be old enough to enjoy an alcoholic beverage legally. So, why not kick off early adulthood with a beer brewed by a band that might have defined your childhood? The Hanson brothers — Taylor, Isaac and Zac — announced that they’ll be brewing their own beer at a conference held on Monday at the Oxford Union in the U.K. The beer — which will be called “MMMhop,” and don’t you dare pretend you don’t know why — is due out early next year,...  read more

Hanson's "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" Music Video

Though I spent much of my adolescence swooning over these three blond brothers, and though last year I unabashedly declared their Snowed In to be The Best Christmas Album Ever, I've felt aggressively "meh" about Hanson in recent years. When an advance copy of their new album, Shout It Out, arrived at the Paste offices a few weeks ago and emails from their publicist about the new release started popping into my inbox, I could have hardly cared less. And considering that my 14-year-old self could hardly ever decide whether she wanted to marry Taylor Hanson or just write about...  read more

Different Songs With The Same Names

There are a lot of songs out there—every artist runs the risk of doubling up on a title or two. Here are some of our favorite songs with the same titles. As you read this list, my fellow editor Steve is writing a song called "Stairway to Heaven" for his band Attractive Eighties Women. And it's not a cover. ...  read more

Fourteen Hanson Songs for Tinted Windows Converts

Earlier this month, when it was announced that Tinted Windows—an ostensibly-super-group featuring Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, The Smashing Pumpkins' James Iha, Cheap Trick's Bun E. Carlos and Taylor Hanson (for whom my inner twelve-year old still carries a brooding, awkward torch)—didn't just exist but indeed had songs and a MySpace and SXSW dates (you know, all the things that real bands have) I thought it must be a joke. When I watched the promotional video I became reasonably sure that it wasn't a joke, but even more desperate to be wrong: The songs were tinny and vapid and somehow...  read more
