I'm Kilroy!

About Me

"Lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is.
I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis."
"look, look... I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know,and we're makin' a recording, you know. It's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets..."

If you don't have a FOREIGN TELEGRAM album yet, why not?

We spent 2 years making this album, and making it great. For you, the cost is less than an hour of your working day. The benefit is, you are contributing to independent music; art made by your friends, by me. Get it directly from me for $8. Here's the cover below, so if you choose to buy it from a store at normal prices, look for this on the shelf.All I wanna do is music . Everything else just gets in the way. Sometimes, you have to get away from it, though.An open letter to all n00b5: I embedded a video in your comments section (yes, it's worth watching). You just received an email notification, but you just see .. and you're like, "duh! i can't see anything." You have two choices. Hit accept and then view the video on your profile or hit the PREVIEW button to view the embedded video. Sheeesh already!

People get bent out of shape, when I express my true feelings
