...next attempt to capitalize on the burgeoning teen-pop genre. Indeed, vocalist Alex Band’s earnest crooning about love and rejection is enough to make any girl swoon. The intense romance of Camino Palmero, the band’s debut release, is a courtship of raw emotions, broken hearts, and longing. Their audience can expect nothing but warm fuzzy instant gratification, all pleasure and no aftertaste.

Every shipment passes under the watchful eye of a full-time statistician, a "master planner" who constantly surveys retailers and wholesalers, anticipating their demands so the factory can be ready with the necessary personnel and raw materials. In 2001 mad-cow disease had most manufacturers scrambling to fill orders for leather furniture, but not Gold: when the epidemic first made headlines, he bought up $5 million worth of South American hides, enough to keep the club chairs rolling for the next eight months.
