“1000 Miles” Cowriter Ben Mink Produces Heart’s Latest, “Fanatic”

Cheers to “1000 Miles” cowriter Ben Mink, who’s produced Heart’s latest, “Fanatic.” He’s an amazing musician and arranger, and a great guy. Shout outs in Playback magazine range from Pearl Jam to Carrie Underwood to Elton John to Fergie, and the band occupies a unique space in rock history. “More than 35 years after releasing their debut album and going on to conquer the charts and earn the love of millions of fans around the world, Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson continue to thrive. In a year in which they are releasing a book, a box set and a new album, they’re still giving music their all.” – ASCAP Playback Click for the full article: “1000 Miles” and “1000 Miles (Extended Version)” from “Wander Away” are available at Bandcamp or iTunes. Signed copies of “Wander Away” are available at the official Mike Errico store.

“Pop-Up Video: Jersey Shore” Marathon This Week

“Pop-Up Video: Jersey Shore” Marathon This Week

[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.
