(Mmmbop) The music that most influenced them as performers and song writers was early rock and roll and R&B.
(AOL_Host) ARE YOU PLANNING ON MOVING OUT OF TULSA ANY TIME SOON?
(Mmmbop) No. Tulsa is home! :D
(AOL_Host) Will the 'Tulsa, Tokyo and The Middle of Nowhere' video include old footage from Mayfest or any other shows from a while back? Love and Peace Always, jonna isaac
(Mmmbop) Yes. There will be early clips from free time and including "Hanson does Stupid Stuff on Video!"
(AOL_Host) Well, gee... in that vein, then...
(AOL_Host) hi hanson! it's megan and meredith here! we'll be hseeing you on
sunday at the y-100 wingding! But here's 2 questions... have you ever made a
funny home video withyour camera isac, and when you guys went trick-or-treating, what was your favorite costume?
(Mmmbop) Isaac: I made a funny home video including one in the video (Tulsa, Tokyo and the Middle of Nowhere) called "What The Hansons Did Last THanksgiving" shot last thanksgiving Day.
(Mmmbop) Isaac: Nothing sticks out. We've done lots of fun things at Halloween.
(AOL_Host) Are you going to release "a Minute Without You" as a single?
(Mmmbop) Maybe. It's up to the label a lot of times.
(Mmmbop) The next single went out on sale today... "I Will Come to You" with an unreleased track entitled "Cried" and it's on sale today! We hope you all like
it!
(Mmmbop) And no decision has been made on a single after that. Maybe "Man from Milwaukee."
(Mmmbop) Zac: What do YOU think the next one should be? Let us know at our web site!
(AOL_Host) I tried to get one for my son, and they were already sold out. Looks like a hit!
(AOL_Host) How long have you been Homeschooled?
(Mmmbop) GREAT!!! :D
(Mmmbop) We've done some school, but very little. We've mostly been home
schooled. We like "Self-directed education"
(AOL_Host) Hey guys! My name is Lindsay! I just wanted to say keep up the good work and wanted to ask what the name of the OFFICIAL Hanson biography is and what the cover looks like.
(Mmmbop) Isaac: I'll get to the question, just a quick comment!
(Mmmbop) Brooke Shields is right next door! I just got to meet her! WOW! :D
(Mmmbop) The cover is a picture of the 3 of us from one of our photo sessions
(Mmmbop) The title is Hanson: The Official Book . It's big, 8.5" x 11" in size.
(Mmmbop) For the record, we have nothing to do with the other books on the market. They never talked to us, and some of the information is incorrect. One of our best friends wrote this one for us and we edited it.
(Mmmbop) Sorry to tell you... You WON'T be able to to find out what colour underwear we wear! ;)
(AOL_Host) So, the Official book, is the OFFICIAL book. Thanks, Isaac.
(AOL_Host) Ike, Tay and Zac: Hey guys!! Was the Toronto show really the loudest the girls have gotten? And what happened at the Chicago show? You guys seemed to just stop during "Thinking Of You". Well, we Love You!! Can't wait to see you in Pittsburgh next week!!!
(Mmmbop) According to the sound meter at the Toronto show.. yeah. it was the loudest we ever experienced.
(Mmmbop) We were at 140 decibles and the loudest in the Guiness book is 126 by a Who concert.
(AOL_Host) What are some of your favourite things to do with your family while not performing?
(Mmmbop) As for the Chicago show, there were sound problems.
(Mmmbop) We didn't stop we just didn't get through the sound system. Then it came back on.
(AOL_Host) Sorry, I sent that last question a bit early
(Mmmbop) of our studio. There's actually scenes of that wall in the video.
(Mmmbop) 8ball, laser quest, motorcycles, dirt bikes, we spend a lot of time painting the wall of our studio. There's scenes of THAT in the video.
(AOL_Host) What is it that fans do to annoy you?
(Mmmbop) We LOVE the fans, they don't annoy us but sometimes they scream really, REALLY loud.
(Mmmbop) The only times that the screaming bothers us is when we're trying to play.
(Mmmbop) Zac: Sometimes we can't hear ourselves think.
(AOL_Host) Zac, Tay and Isaac... tell us a little about your Christmas album. Will some of the "old standards" be there?
(Mmmbop) The album is called Snowed In. It's co-produced by Hanson and Mark Hudson who co-wrote "Where's the Love." It was recorded during October outside London in the country. We had a great time recording it.
(Mmmbop) We hope you like it.
(Mmmbop) It's old R&B christmas songs and some new ones we wrote in England. And a medley of sacred Christmas carols.
(AOL_Host) Is it true your mother is going to have a baby soon?
(Mmmbop) Yes, she is. She's going to have a baby atthe beginning of the new year.
(Mmmbop) It will be Hanson #7
