track of the week

Madonna: Hard Candy

This week's hoop track is from Madonna's newly released album "Hard Candy." It's called "Give It To Me" and it's fun, bouncy and incredibly hoopable. We've added the album version to our Hoop Sounds listening station up top. You can check the track out as well as a Paul Oakenfold remix - and download them for yourself on iTunes by clicking:

Comments

I found your site via a comment one of my readers left on my blog. You might want to make a comment yourself to promote your site. It was a photo from the Cirque du Soleil, but people apparently picked up on the benefits of hula hooping for health! Quite funny actually. Anyway, I'm always interested to come across new web sites and yours is quite good.

Eric

I came across this site while looking for resources for an article I'm writing on hula hooping for fitness. I'd love to contact Philo Hagen for an interview, but there is no email address or phone number listed, and my computer won't allow me to click on "Contact us" to send email. Is there any way you can post the contact info on the site? Thanks so much!
Nicole

just wanted to let you know that I was interviewed on Spokane, WA's KHQ 6 news August 4th...promoting hooping! yay!
