Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street Free At Last

granby street hooper We're pleased to report that the Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street is out of jail, although the 49-year-old said she was at a loss to recall her arrest Saturday morning. Police say what started as a noise complaint led them to Brown and that she was shocked repeatedly with a Taser, something Hooping.org finds hard to believe was necessary in dealing with a nearly 50-year-old hula hooper. She spent the weekend in jail on charges of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and excessive noise before her release Tuesday on a $5,000 recognizance bond. Living in the Cromwell House apartments in Norfolk, Virginia, for senior citizens and people with disabilities, Pamela Brown hoops nearly every day, hanging a radio in a plastic bag from a road sign on nearby Granby Street. She used to hoop closer to her apartment, but her radio woke residents and she was charged last year with disturbing the peace, but the charge was withdrawn in Circuit Court after she appealed her conviction in District Court. Virginian-Pilot, News Channel 3

Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:

Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:
