Here is a ditty about one of our favorite theories. More to develop in the future.
Lyrics:
Mutual knowledge.
I know. You know. We know. They know.

For the first time in the history of the establishment, a show at the Black Sparrow started on time. Popular Ego debuted to a packed house. With an already established fan club, the transition was intuitive. Chad Rainey on guitar, Andrea Sullivan hitting the drums, Ryan Pitts (from Tigerfox) on bass, Ethan from LA.
Popular Ego also had a poster decoration contest; carrots were a major theme of the evening with patrons and fans alike. If you are well dressed and enjoy vegetables, Popular Ego is for you.
There is a fan page on Facebook. Search’em out. Cintia and Roberta would appreciate it.
Set list from the evening:
It should be noted that the sequence of Make Way for the Punks and Biggest Baby was intentional. Could someone please confirm with us that there was no pause between the two songs during the debut performance?
Keep checking Popular Ego’s soundcloud for the bootleg.

Mike Dodaro makes a guest appearance to inform the world that he is the best.

Here is another installment of the free-form question, comment and improvisational voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638). Give us a call to share your perspective on anything and everything! Tell us about your day, improvise a monologue about a local event, or sing us a song. If it can be captured on the phone, we want to hear it.
In this episode we hear a popular song from the 1980s rendered by a mouth, a choppy poem of digital significance, an apology for last night, a British person trying to start a journal and doing things half-way, another exploration by someone’s mouth, Mayor John Dennis follows through on one of his campaign promises; the staycation, someone trying to order dry tofu, bar atmosphere while getting day drunk, a rant about transportation, a new technology called Thunderbolt and compact devices, people commenting about people hanging in a house, a quick blurb about rotating around in mouth form.
Please join us for the next episode by calling and contributing to 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638)!
