The Producer:
Rob Stevens is a brilliant producer/mixer who is currently executive producing the new collaborations that pair Cat Power, The Flaming Lips, Basement Jaxx, Polyphonic Spree, Apples in Stereo, and Peaches, with Yoko Ono (Astralwerks). Rob has also produced and/or mixed albums by John Lennon (the posthumous "Anthology") and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, among many others.
Rob thinks Palumbo is a timeless freaking genius in a world overpopulated with spineless one hit wonders.
He also knows that Palumbo's been thinking and writing about things like the inequities in our world and the folly of our leaders and most of their wars for more than just a week or two. And he does it with fury and a smirk.
Nutritious ear candy.
Plus he never supported the Patriot Act.
