[Here’s the press release. I watched “Jersey Shore” for the second time last week, while getting my hair cut. I thought they should fight in bars more. Also tan more. It’ll make their butts pop better in the night vision scenes. But you know, no one asked me. My haircut came out well, I think. We flipped back and forth between Jersey Shore and a woman named Tabatha who walks into salons and gets really mad at how they’re being run.] VH1’S “POP UP VIDEO” TAKES ON MTV’S HIT SERIES “JERSEY SHORE” WITH TRIVIA-FILLED MARATHON “Pop Up Video: Jersey Shore” Two-Night Marathon Premieres on Friday, March 16 at 10 PM/9c and Saturday, March 17 at 9 PM/8c on VH1 “Pop-Up Video” theme by Mike Errico NEW YORK, NY, March 8, 2012 – New Jersey’s famous, larger-than-life housemates will receive the “Pop Up” treatment when MTV’s highest-rated series, “Jersey Shore,” debuts with the two-night “Pop Up Video: Jersey Shore” marathon on Friday, March 16, starting at 10 PM/9c and Saturday, March 17 starting at 9 PM/8c on VH1.

I was very lucky to get hooked up with Angie through a mutual friend. A little out of the blue, really – he’d never mentioned other writers, so I was particularly interested in what caused him to connect us. He just said it was a gut reaction, which is the best answer. She lives in the UK, we emailed back and forth a little, swapped mp3 files while she toured with Goldfrapp, and then Peter Gabriel. “Count to Ten” is our first cowrite – one of many more I hope. She did backgrounds on “Wander Away” by recording them in a studio in England and shooting them back here. The first time I ever saw her, she was on stage at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. She was in silver pants, with a white keytar, synth-battling another band member in a strobe light. I wish I could make that kind of first impression more often. Today this video surfaced, with Angie working with Peter Gabriel. Enjoy. Hear our song, “Count to Ten”:...
