the illiterati is pop music -
music made with microchips and melodicas,
sweet singing and six-string-strumming, tapped-out,
taped-up drum machines and joy-drunk-heart-machinations
these songs have lyrics
except when they dont -
so -
from our boom-box to yours,
we present our latest record:

Party at the studio Saturday Midnight. We are celebrating Gabe's move to Costa Rica with a keg and live studio recording all night. Hope you can make it.
Oh I'll be there...and with bells on no less. And I will be clapping. When I clap, the bells will ring out creating a some what human tamborine effect. I should probably take this time to mention I have no rhythm. Good luck!

Where did you guys come from? Did you just sprout out of the ground or something equally organic and amazing? I hear you are getting fairly popular and rightfully so. But be warned...this is Blueberry Six territory. We cannot exist peacfully together and one day, shall it come, we might have to battle to the death. And what a battle it shall be. One for the grandchildren to read about. Well our grandchildren really since you will be dead! We are pop entity Blueberry Six and we have spoken.
