It's the 13th again
For no other reason than I feel like it I'm going to post more Hula Hoop on the 13th of each month for the next few months. It will keep me off the streets.

China
I'm reasonably sure that Chinas Comidas is spanish for Chinese food. This is a poet fronting a New/No Wave band on one side and with some other kind of improv jazzy background on the other.
It's Beat poetry with fewer berets.
Zero berets. You'd probably have gotten your ass kicked for wearing one.
Punk rock rules.

Would you like Bill sperm with that?
You need some more punk rock in your life.
Fat ep (1981)
I know that it's probably unnecessary for me to post this since it's collected with a bunch of other crap on compact discs that you may already have in pristine sound without crackles. But fuck it. I wanted to play it today. I did. "I Like Food" & "Weinerschnitzel" are still hilarious.
Gun Control (1983)
From the gritty streets of East St. Paul in Minnesota came Civil Defense. The drummer was briefly a roommate of mine. He was quite enamored of the Only Ones and mostly hid in his room to escape the increasing lunacy of our other roommate, Stephanie. I hid in my room too. She was pretty batshit.

New Year's Day and my 100th Post
So now, it's the start of 2016. A fresh slate and time for, if I've counted this correctly, the 100th post here on the Swinging Singles Club.
I should really get make this something special and personal. I should really go to town. I should make it a party and an event.
Instead I'm posting the Delinquents.
I have to wonder if they ever got sick of people comparing them to the B-52's. They don't actually sound anything like them at all, but they were a contemporary New Wave band with a penchant for bright colors and songs about weird parties on beaches.
I'll leave it to your discerning ear to decide which is better, the single or Lp version of "Alien Beach Party". I already have my opinion.

So Called Dangerous
It's New Year's eve.
I'm probably working.
Be careful out there.
It can be pretty dangerous.
Dangerous Birds (1982)
From Boston. Most memorably for me, they opened up for Mission of Burma for the all ages show of their "farewell" shows at the Bradford Ballroom.
"Alpha Romeo" is an all time favorite pop song.
Dangerous Girls (1980)
Their third single. I only came across this fairly recently. Last couple of years anyway. But I'm pretty sure that if I'd found it when it came out that I would have played the ever loving shit out of it.
Special Bonus one sided dangerousness.
After a rather forgettable fairly straight novelty single Danger Roads pumped out this ditty in 1979 on Break'er Records in Minneapolis. It's still a novelty tune, but it's good one at least.
