[picspam primer] The Big Damn Musical Alex Post
THE BIG DAMN MUSICAL ALEX POST
It has come to my attention that I a) cannot keep my Alexes straight, b) like too many Alexes, c) wanted to make a really big picspam of Alexes because I can. No really, that's about my entire reasoning for doing this. I have no life.
THE ALEX BAND THE CAB
This band is part of the reason why I never remember who I am talking about, Alex-wise. I also have no pictures of them without the two non-Alexes, so I've helpfully crossed out Ian and Cash. I love them-don't get me wrong!-but they're not Alexes, so they're not important atm.

l-r (top): Alex Marshall, Alex Johnson; l-r (bottom): Ian Crawford, Alex DeLeon (Singer), Cash Colligan
Fun story: Singer got kicked out of Johnson's band and then Johnson's band broke up so he was like "hey DeLeon, can I join your band?" and that is how THE CAB was formed. Here, watch a video about that:
Okay, let's break down the Alexes!
Alex DeLeon
This is Alex Deleon. He sings, has classy tattoos, pokes people with microphones, is rather adorable, and is wearing really terrible pants in this photo.
Alex Johnson
This is Alex Johnson. He plays drums, his hair is actually blond and I'm pretty sure he skates. I pretty much know nothing about him because the Cablings have twitters, but no official bios.
Alex Marshall
This is Alex Marshall. He owns an accessories line and I am lusting over them right now gdit. Oh. He plays piano and sings.
That's all. Basically, The Cablings are kind of the same person and have an out of date primer here. I think that a commenter on youtube summed up The Cab the best:
"Alex is awesome and Alex is cute, but I have to say Alex is the hottest ;)"
ALEX SUAREZ (Cobra Starship)
And then there's Alex Suarez, who's in what very well may be the sexiest band ever (this spot used to belong to Panic! but then they broke up): COBRA STARSHIP. Also This is Ivy League, which is also good but does not have Victoria Asher and therefore cannot ever hope to compare to Cobra.
l-r: Ryland Blackington, Victoria Asher, Gabe Saporta, Nate Novarro, Alex Suarez
Do you know why I love Alex? Because he cooks (cooking major! how presh is that?), he's got an adorable fiancee, he's Cobra's own little photographer, and he ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO DRESS HIMSELF HOLY SHIT. This is a big thing for Cobra, because Cobra like. Is fronted by Gabe Saporta, who offends my eyes and my soul, no matter how much I love him. Also, when Suarez speaks Spanish it makes me melt. Listen to him say his full name.
Seriously, how am I supposed to not think he's great?
ALEX LIPSHAW (Hey Monday)
l-r: Alex Lipshaw, Elliot James, Cassadee Pope, Mike Gentile, Jersey Moriarty
This is Hey Monday. I would have crossed out Elliot and Jersey, but they're all too close together to cross out. Basically, though, Hey Monday has been reduced to a girl and her two guitarists-one of whom is named Alex! Alex Lipshaw, that is.
This is Alex Lipshaw! His band calls him Alex Pimpshaw, because . . . Yeah, his band is great. He has cute dogs, is the tiniest member of Hey Monday, and went to the same high school as Cassadee!
ALEX GASKARTH (All Time Low)
l-r (back): Rian Dawson, Jack Barakat, Zachary Merrick. Alex Gaskarth in front.
This is All Time Low. If you don't know these boys yet, you need to know them. They sing songs about people they used to know that are now strippers, ask Cassadee uncomfortable questions about her vagina, and answer fan questions half-naked (or possibly all naked, it's hard to tell and I wouldn't put it past them). Basically if you thought Pete Wentz was bad? ALL TIME LOW IS A BAND FULL OF PETE WENTZES.
l-r: Zach Merrick, Alex Gaskarth, Rian Dawson. Jack Barakat in front.
NO REALLY, THEY'RE PETE WENTZES. Yes, they have fanservice kisses too. And Jack is the love of Alex's life. And they're shippable with other bands too!
AND THIS IS NOT AN ALL TIME LOW PRIMER SO I'M GOING TO SHUT UP NOW. Here, have a picture of Alex:
You are never going to hear me say this ever again, so treasure this: I think his beanie is kind of cute. Anyway, that's Alex Gaskarth.
ALEX GREENWALD (Phantom Planet)
I don't actually. Recognize most of Phantom Planet, because I know Alex Greenwald from Donnie Darko and because he produced Take A Vacation! (I think). But here's a picture of them!
Alex is second from the left.
Alex was a GAP model and actor, but he's in this band called Phantom Planet that I actually only know because I collect songs about California and they have one. It was the theme song for the OC or some other teen show I don't watch because I'm from California and I think they're kind of dumb. He's also a vegan. I actually know a lot of random shit about Alex, which would probably be weird and awkward only . . . Uh, I'm a Panic! girl first and a bandom girl second so. Yeaaaaaaah. Alex Greenwald kind of looks like Bill Beckett!
And yeah. That's all I've got.
ALEX RYBAK (Eurovision 2009 winner)
Okay, you know how I said this was a post of musical Alexes? I meant that. I didn't call it "bandom Alexes" for a reason and we are getting to the part of the post where that becomes clear. This is Alexander Rybak! I call him foreign Alex sometimes.
He's Belarusian? FROM BELARUS. And he plays violin and sings hilarious songs in English and in Norwegian. He also sings songs about Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson. I MEAN, UH. He won Eurovision 2009?
Also lol, he's the Norwegian voice for Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. I find that really funny, okay?
ALEX BAND
Alex Band has the greatest name ever. He is an Alex Band! Like, how is that not funny? Maybe it's only funny to me because I think of The Cab as "the Alex Band." Anyway, this is Alex Band:
You might know him because his song was on Vampire Diaries. Also, uh. He was in The Calling. :D
ALEX LAMBERT (American Idol S9)
Not to be confused with Adam Lambert, who is much sparklier and gayer. No, this is Alex Lambert from S9, who was cut somewhere after 24 or something, I forget IT WAS UNFAIR AND THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER. He's got a pretty voice. Also he is pretty:
And you know that you're unfairly cut when SIMON FULLER offers you a spot on a different show. Seriously, ugh.
ALEX DAY (Sons of Admirals)
I am going to marry Sons of Admirals. I may have mentioned this before, but seriously. These are the only people I will marry and I want to marry all of them. Anyway, this is Sons of Admirals!
l-r: Charlie (charlieissocoollike), Ed (eddplant), Alex Day (nerimon), Tom (hexachordal)
I talked about them at length here. Basically all you need to know about Alex Day is that he is the biggest Green Day fanboy (he's actually a giant fanboy in general).
This is Alex:
He is quite possibly my favorite Alex. How can you not love someone who made a number one hit using only the power of the internet? That's pretty awesome, in anyone's book.
And I think . . . I THINK I'M OUT OF ALEXES?! Wow. I never thought that would be possible.
