"We're just here to play music and have fun doing it. You can criticize us all you want."

~Taylor VH1 Storytellers

Okay, guys...we have really enjoyed doing TAD , but today is the last day for it, because TLS and TC are running off to Tulsa to be with Taylor at last! :)

LOL!! Don't we wish! But after all, it IS April Fool's Day!

So, APRIL FOOL! Don't worry, we'll be right back with another luscious new TAD for you tomorrow as usual!

"I hate saying I'm impressed, because that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about, but those guys were really impressive. They're really pros in the studio. Their musicianship is as good as you can be."

~Jonny Lang

"They know music. They're great writers and phenomenal singers."

~Ric Ocasek

Teen Machine: What are each of your favorite songs on the album?

Taylor: Well it was actually really hard for us to pick our favorite songs because we recorded 17 for the record.

Zac: And we wrote about 25.

Taylor: Yeah, so, it was a hard process to narrow it down. Especially once we had recorded 17 songs and then took it down to 13. It was kinda like telling four of your kids they can't go to Disney World or, 'Sorry, the rest of you have to go jump off a cliff now.'

Zac: You're just not my favorite children right now, you're the runts of the group!

~Teen Machine

Okay, guys, today is the day the single "This Time Around" hits the stores! So, run out and buy it! :)

"Do you really wanna touch it...?"

~"Touch It" by Monifah

Yeah, BABY! WE wanna touch it! >;-)

~TLS and TC

Taylor filled the triangular piece of plastic with balls. "My break", he said, walking around the opposite end of the pool table and picking up the blue cube, chalking the tip of his cue. He leaned across the table, aiming his cue for the break.

Candy leaned over and whispered in Chris' ear. "He has the finest a$$ on God's green earth." Her reference to Taylor's rear end made Chris just a little uncomfortable.

"Yeah, it's pretty fine." She played along.

~"This Time Around", sequel to "Story X"

by J Robinson

"When you walk by every night Talking sweet and looking fine I get kind of hectic inside Baby, I'm so into you Darling, if you only knew All the things that flow through my mind But it's just a Sweet sweet fantasy baby When I close my eyes You come and you take me On and on and on It's so deep in my daydreams But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby Images of rapture Creep into me slowly And my heart beats faster When you take me over Time and time and time again But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby When I close my eyes You come and you take me On and on and on It's so deep in my daydreams But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby.

~Fantasy, Mariah Carey

With his brown leather pants and shoulder-length hair, Taylor has definitely got the whole Jim Morrison thing going on.

~New Weekly, April 10, 2000

TC & TLS are proud to present....Taylor's belly. We affectionately refer to these rare glimpses of skin as "peekage". And, oh my, this is the BEST peekage we've seen since we learned that he is a jockey-type-of-guy. ;) You all can close your mouths and pick yoursleves up off the floor now. Have a good day. ~TC & TLS

"It's always crazy when Hanson is around somewhere because the girls are screaming and trying to touch them and Hanson's just basically trying to get the hell outta there in one piece. If one Hanson brother gets tackled then you can forget about ever seeing them again. Although, I did see Taylor get his shirt ripped off. That had to be embarrassing. But they are cool."

~Jim Breur (comedian)

...he's got the charisma to inflame the passion of millions of teenage girls worldwide.

~Nylon Magazine, April 2000

TC & TLS think Taylor inflames the passion in others, as well; and we all know who we are... ;)

Taylor's sprouting facial hair...

~Teen People, May 2000 Oh so SEXY! ;)

"Full body tattoos, and we're gonna pierce every part of our bodies so people will know we're really cool rockers!"

~Taylor, Tiger Beat, April 2000

Hmmm...interesting, Taylor... LOL! (this quote was totally taken out of context friends, so don't be alarmed!)

"Girls are definitely very inspirational. They were made that way."

~Taylor

"We are the same people we were before", says Taylor. "I don't think a ton has changed for us as people, except we're bigger."

~Taylor, Teen People, May 2000

Dressed in brown corduroy trousers, a tight black T-shirt and a metal choker bearing a cross, Taylor has evolved into the group's resident fashion plate.

~Teen People, May 2000

"...we just wanna say, here we are, do with us what you will."

~Tiger Beat, April 2000

Oookay... >;-)

"We want to do it as long as we can," says Taylor. "Till we can't do it anymore. Till my hands can't physically do it." But, he adds, "No matter what, even if everything crashes and burns, at least we enjoyed ourselves and had a passion for our work."

~Taylor, Teen People, May 2000

"Taylor, if I were you, I would spend all day looking in the mirror going, "Me, man, ME!"

~Ugly Phil Australian radio interview February 3, 2000

"Hanson rules, it's as simple as that. They're great role models, they're really talented, and they're hot. Well, to teenage girls. (note from TLS and TC-not JUST teenage girls!! LOL!) But seriously, they're not just some overnight sensation, one-hit wonder. Hanson is here to stay!

~Art Alaxis (Everclear)

"We rock climb, we ride motorcycles, we surf, and we ski."

~Taylor Smash Hits, April 2000

Hey, this might be a very tiny pic, but WHAT a view!!

"It's not about selling records, it's about being real."

~Liam Gallagher, Oasis

"The only thing you can do is work really hard and love what you're doing and want it more than anything else."

~Taylor AOL Chat Australia March 21, 2000

"I just try to be as tired as the rest of the audience is from jumping around."

~Taylor Yahoo! Chat November 2, 1998

Happy Easter, fellow Tay Lovers! :) From TLS & TC

"People always say to have safe sex, but there's no such thing."

~Taylor Nylon Magazine, April 2000

Aaaauuuugggghhhh!!! TLS and TC's brains were on overload after hearing THIS particular quote from The Babe, trust us! >;-)

"We've learned that fifty percent of something is better than 100 percent of nothing."

~Taylor Nylon Magazine, April 2000

"If you get the hiccups you have to perform anyway. It's like, Mmm-hic-bop."

~Taylor, Yahoo! Chat, November 2, 1998

Just wanted to let all you Tay-lovers know that beginning tomorrow, we will be counting down the days until the release of the new record, "This Time Around". Each day until May 9th, we will provide you with a little taste of the lyrics to each song, until we reach the momentous occasion. And, of course, you will get a delicious picture of the Babe to go along with it. :) Until tomorrow...

Suddenly the sky is falling Could it be it's too late for me? Well if I never said I'm sorry Then I'm wrong Yes I'm wrong Then I hear my spirit calling I wonder if she's longing for me? And then I know that I can't live without her Won't you save me? Saving's what I need I just want to be by your side Won't you save me? I don't want to be Just drifting through the sea of life

~"Save Me", Hanson (This Time Around)

TC & TLS's love and relationships advice: If you find a man who will admit that he is wrong (check out the lyrics above)...MARRY him! ;)

Friday, April 28, 2000

Well, I'm caught between myself and me And I, I can't find the bridge from my mind to reality I'm trying to find a place in the sun But I'm drownin' in the rain It's fallin' every place I go And I see you hand in hand With another man And I don't know what you see in him And why you let us go So, if you're gonna lie Well, at least you could just let us die And if you're gonna cry to me, baby At least you could just say goodbye

~"Hand In Hand", Hanson (This Time Around)

*NOTE* Don't you just love that line..."I can't find the bridge from my mind to reality"?...that's just cool. :)

Saturday, April 29, 2000

Just a picture and a feeling and a face How could I forget your touch? Your warm embrace? And the shoes you wore with long black satin lace As you walked into my mind

~"Runaway Run", Hanson (This Time Around)

Oh, yeah...nice, mature lyrics... ;)

Sunday, April 30, 2000

Take me to a place Where I can always see your face I've really lost my way this time Tell me what it means? I'm bursting at the seams You're in my thoughts, my dreams Yeah, I Can't stop thinkin' about you I can't get you off my mind No, I can't stop thinkin' about you Thinkin' about you all the time Can't stop thinkin' about you I can't get you off my mind No, I can't stop thinkin' about you Thinkin' about you all the time

~"Can't Stop", Hanson (This Time Around)

How prophetic... ::sigh::
