hi guys i made a new layout!! i hope you all like it although i know most of you just read from your friendslist. its nice and summery though! :)
anyway here is an article, i bolded all points of interest since a lot of it is old news:
Cobra Starship in a "Hot Mess" with Meester
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta knows he shouldn't be talking this much -- let alone recording a new album, touring nonstop and doing interviews -- but he just can't quit.
"I haven't really given my voice a rest," says the singer, exasperated and still recovering from a December 2008 surgery that removed a cyst from his vocal chords. "I went to a vocal therapist who said I have to whisper so that I don't put stress on my voice box, but I'm not doing it. There's no way."
It's easy to excuse Saporta for disobeying doctor's orders. The 29-year-old and his bandmates -- Ryland Blackinton, Alex Suarez, Victoria Asher and Nate Novarro -- have bigger concerns. Their third album, "Hot Mess" (Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic Records), will be released August 11, and their new single, "Good Girls Go Bad," which features "Gossip Girl" actress (and recent Universal Republic signee) Leighton Meester, is climbing the Billboard Hot 100, where it's No. 36.
Cobra Starship's second album, 2007's "Viva La Cobra!," has sold 119,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It solidified the teen fan base that the pop-punk band first attracted with its 2006 album, "While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets," as did Saporta's previous band, Midtown. Now, the group wants to keep the momentum going.
"The thought process for this album was to stick with how we built the band and appeal to the fans," says John Janick, president of independent label Fueled by Ramen, "and also to make sure we have some great songs that would work for radio. We're trying to balance all that out."
The band wrote some material on the road last year but felt that the songs weren't jelling. In January, Saporta and his bandmates holed up in a rented house in rural Pennsylvania to flesh out the songs without distractions. "I was like, 'We've got to get away from here and be a band for a little bit, let these songs come to life,'" Saporta says. "It was kind of like a science lab."
The songs that emerged from that reclusive writing session, and subsequent studio work with Kevin Rudolf and "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi, aren't unlike the tracks on the band's first two albums. "Hot Mess" features more anthemic dance punk with bombastic lyrics, and Saporta points to the title track and "Nice Guys Finish Last," which features a horn section, as evidence.
But he also says that one song, "The Scene Is Dead; Long Live the Scene," is introspective, as the frontman addresses his role as a showman. "I started Cobra with the intention of having it be fun and not heavy," Saporta says, "but this album is definitely more revealing on a personal level than any other Cobra record."
As is no surprise for a band with song titles like "Pete Wentz Is the Only Reason Why We're Famous," "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" and "Kiss My Sass," Cobra Starship isn't worried about losing any street cred over its collaboration with Meester.
"Our real fans know already that I love 'Gossip Girl,'" Saporta says. "It's nothing new. That's been the point of Cobra Starship from the beginning. We're an amalgamation of all these different things and we're just fascinated by pop culture. To be able to take a bite out of it ourselves is great."

I'm pretty sure I've never posted any of these so... Newest to oldest.
Title: Assorted Ensemble
Pairing: Pete/Patrick (or Benzedrine/Sandman), some Pete/Ashlee and possible Pete/Patrick/Ashlee
Bands: FOB
Word Count: Like I can count...
Rating: G-R for language, potential triggers, boys who are girls and were never boys, and fast cars
Author's Note: I did the 10 Songs Meme. I cheated slightly. Whatevs, yo. 10 drabbles, mostly written within the length of the song. Some editing, unbeta'd. This is everything and the kitchen sink. Fluff, angst, gen, pre-slash, genderswap... Seriously, who told me this was a good idea?
Title: A Matter Of Style
Pairing(s): very slight Pete/Patrick if you want it to be
Band(s): FOB
Word Count: ???
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some language, pure crack, steampunk goodness
Author's Note: Okay, so this was spawned by a conversation with mwestbelle about steampunk AUs and how there needed to be more. I agreed wholehearted and she said I should write one. I then, much later, finished for anon_lovefest. Now, as some of you may know, my brain is on a permanent vacation so I tend to write and think up a lot of crack. The end-product is what you see here. Special thanks to wikipedia for explaining everything ever better than I (or Pete apparently) could.
Title: Welcome To Applebee's!
Pairings: Pete/Patrick, Gabe/William/Travis
Bands: FOB, TAI, CS, GCH
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ???
Author's Note: Woot woot, didn't write an opus! And it nearly fit into a single comment! I am doing the happy dance of happy joy. Seriously. Anyways, another from anon_lovefest from one of my favorite prompters ever. Cameos from Ashlee, Vicky-T, Suarez, Gabe, William, and Travie in order of appearance.
Prompt: "bb!Waiter!Patrick/pervy!Pete.
Patrick works at Applebee's (or some other restaurant/diner) and Pete gets all hot a bothered by the uniform (and purposely shrinks Patrick's pants show off his curvy hips and ass)."
Title: Enjoy The Experience
Pairings: Pete/Patrick, blink-and-you'll-miss-the-tiny-implication Gabe/William
Band: FOB
Rating: R
Word Count: 1857
Author's Note: I'm really bad at not writing an opus, guys... Anyways, I couldn't just ignore a private school AU prompt from [info]anon_lovefest. So you get this. It sort of sucks and for that I apologize.
Prompt: "Either Pete/Patrick or any panic pairing you want, maybe either an office AU or private school AU (where they have uniforms). So long as there is making out and ties being pulled (frottage is loved but not required) I will be content."
