Three of our fave things -- food, fashion, music -- came together last night as part of the opening of the new Diesel Planet store on 5th Avenue. Instead of having one huge soiree, they decided to have a week-long series of dinner parties in the big, beautiful store windows. Past nights have featured club kids like Richie Rich, players from the NY Giants, and models. But last night, Gabe Saporta and Ryland Blackinton from Cobra Starship took a break from the studio, where they're recording their third album, to chow down and chat.

Peep our convo with Gabe and get deets on the new album (including one hilarious song title!). And be sure to check out AlloyGirl to get Gabe's take on female fashion.

You're in the middle of recording right now. What do you wear to the studio?
The exact same thing you see me wearing now [a red and black checked shirt, a black scarf, jeans, and black high-top sneakers]. I might wear different sneakers because I actually really like these sneakers, so I don't want to try to mess them up too much, you know? But I just ordered a second pair, so maybe now I'll mess them up.

Tell us about the album.
We've been working really hard on it and we have a lot of great songs, and where we're at now is figuring out what the album is because you have two different kinds of fans: you've got the fans who will just get the singles and just listen to the hits, and then you've got fans that want the whole album. So when I make music, I make it in mind with the people who are getting the whole album, who are going to listen to it from beginning to end, but at the same time, you gotta pay attention to people who may only have one or two songs from you that they got from their friends on their iPods, but they still want to know what you're coming up with next, even though they don't have your whole album. So this is a weird time for music right now. When I was a kid growing up, I listened to a whole album from beginning to end, and now kids don't really do that anymore. Well, I guess even in my time, my friends didn't really do that. I was the kid who really loved music in my school and all my friends only listened to the singles, so I guess it's always been like that.

What does the album sound like?
It sounds like in a lot of ways what we're good at. We're really good at using a lot of different synthetic elements, instruments, synthesizers, and weird beats and stuff and mixing it with the live thing and putting energy behind it. So it still has that sound we're experimenting with, different sounds within there, but I don't know, man -- it kind of sounds like "Womanizer" covered by a punk rock band.

That's a good analogy. Can you give us any song titles?
One song title is called "Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We're Famous." We might put out an EP before the album comes out, and it will be that song. That's the new song we're going to play on the Fall Out Boy tour. We're only going to play one new song on the Fall Out Boy tour. We only have 30 minutes to play, [so] we'll play like six old songs and one new song.

Any collaboration on the album?
Yes, but I can't talk about it yet. We've worked with a lot of different people, but it's just a question of whether it's going to make it onto the album right now. We're really sitting on 20 or 22 songs right now, so it's a question of what is the album from beginning to end -- what is the album? It's weird because we were so under the radar for the past two years and everyone kind of wrote us off and they were like, "Oh yeah, whatever." We got to do whatever we wanted, which was great. So we made two albums, which were whatever we wanted, and now we have like a great fan base and a lot of support from people, so now everyone in the business that we work with is like, "This is it. This is the make or break it album," and I'm like, "I guess so." I'm 29 years old now -- who knows how long I can do this for? I just had throat surgery. It might be all over, who knows.

How's your throat feeling?
Not that great, not going to lie to you. The worst part is the doctor and vocal therapist told me there's two problems: one, the way I speak is what really causes the stress because I should be talking like this [put his neck straight], above like up here, but when I talk, I duck down a little bit, so it always goes down into my vocal chord area, so it puts a lot of stress on it, and I talk really fast and I try to be conscious of it. I'm never conscious of anything -- I just say what I feel at that moment and speak fluidly and from the heart and straight up, and if I have to be conscious of what I'm saying, I just stumble over my words. I don't want to be conscious over what I'm saying. It kind of sucks in that way. And then the other thing too, after surgery like this, they say you should take six months to do the rehabilitation and everything gets back to 100 percent. I just don't have those six months, so I kind of like got the surgery and I'm just going for it, so it might end up causing more harm than good, who knows? You hear it a little bit -- it's like hoarse. When I speak, it's the worst. I actually can sing better now. I don't know, nothing lasts forever.

Since we're at a dinner party right now, if you could have a dinner party with anyone, dead or alive, who would you invite?
Kurt Cobain, Dostoyevsky, Ben Franklin, the dude from Flight of the Concords, Paula Abdul, Michael Jackson.

What would you eat?
The big nice tofurkey, like Thanksgiving turkey. I would have a beet and goat cheese salad -- I really like goat cheese and I really like beets. Even though it's a weird vegetable to like, I like it a lot. I don't know why I really like beets. It's weird, man.
