August 2004
All of that wonderful cover music that Hanson has both brought
into our lives and validated or salvaged from our pre-1997 lives
. . . reason #1441. This is a tribute to Ann, who offers a little
musical history and analysis.
with
distance
March 2004
But now, with distance . . . and the awareness that I inevitably
will again be charmed senseless by the new album, I list [my
least favorite songs] because I love.

August
2003
For months, I have tried to downplay my Hanson enthusiasm .
. . Then, I went to church.
gimme

May 2002
Five years of Hanson . . . I've decided to generate lists of

best
of . . .
March 2002
Having all of my current favorite Hanson songs on one album
is like having a week of consecutive snow days--so luxurious.
And yet, at the end of the day, it also feels unearned.

grace
February 2002
interview with Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma
"I'm touched by the lengths that people will go through

speaks to the type of people who listen to Hanon's music and
are affected by it."

our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the
two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light."

December 2001
Banish all thoughts of Hanson skateboards, subscriptions to
hanson.net or even Billy Joel's Greatest Hits albums for remote
relatives on your Christmas list. Folks, it's time to dig deeper
. . .
scraps
September 2001
Confetti is among the list of unfortunate elements that is appreciated
for only an instant and then, literally, become scraps
run-around
April 2001
Pausing at times, [Hanson] seem to take quick glances over their
shoulders to see if we're keeping pace.
save
me or not?
January 2001
As we stood face to face, instead of feeling an instant bond,
I felt the preposterousness of interacting with icons that appeared
to be hundreds of miles high, when in reality were closer to
my own height.

underground
March 2001
Is the rhizobia Hanson's magical, unseen influence in our lives?
Or could the rhizobia be the fans? Collectively the ones who
still care?
