Who saw this coming??

I like surprises. Don't you? My favorite surprise of late has to be the COMEBACK OF HANSON! Seriously, listen to "Great Divide." It will change your life. Word on the street is they tested the song in a few radio markets, not telling the listeners which band they were listening to. It shot to number 1 on the request lines for three weeks straight before the DJs revealed it was by none other than our beloved Hanson. Makes you think, huh? Mmmm bop, indeed.

It's a little known fact that a certain lead singer of the Subsidies is in the midst of a comeback of his own. Through careful planning (and maybe a little outercourse) our very own Collin Hummel is making his way back to fame and fortune after waiting idly on the sidelines of the music business for far too long. You see, Collin originally rose to celebrity as a key supporting member of the early ninties supergroup Color Me Badd. The Badd lads enjoyed 5 U.S. hit singles from their debut album C.M.B. throughout 1991 and 1992. These were "I Wanna Sex You Up" (U.S.#2), "I Adore Mi Amor" (U.S.#1), "All 4 Love" (U.S.#1), "Thinkin Back" (U.S.#16) and "Slow Motion" (U.S.#18). "I Wanna Sex You Up" was also on the New Jack City soundtrack, and hit number 1 on the UK Singles Charts.

Collin clearly appears below in this band promo shot with the yellow arrow pointing to him:

as well as in the picture below, taken at a recent family briss event:
