I Play Car Buying Expert

Now, in addition to acting as one of the Chicago Tribune’s parenting experts, I’m also apparently one of their automotive experts. Check out this article in which I give some obvious advice about what to do when trying to select a used car.

Chick Fight!

I talk to Glee’s Ashley Fink–who plays plus-sized diva Lauren Zizes–and she does not deny rumors of participating in a Jell-O wrestling chick-fight on tonight’s episode, “Silly Love Songs”. Read our interview over at Vanity Fair.

Scoring the Superbowl

PJ Bloom is the Music Supervisor on Glee, and has worked on films for Steven Spielberg, Mike Nichols, and Ridley Scott. He’s even chosen the music for Space Mountain. So I thought it would be cool if he created a soundtrack that traced the emotional path of a Super Bowl viewer. He did too, so he made this play-by-play playlist for Vanity Fair.

Rolls-Royce Ghost

February sucks. Expensive cars don’t. So for the shortest, shittiest month, I’m implementing a weekly cure for the February blahs in the form of a ballsy review of an ostentatious vehicle. First up, this gorgeous Rolls-Royce Ghost. Melt yourself a little by heading over to Vanity Fair.

How Swede It Is

I help a friend shop for cars from the Land of the Midnight Sun by comparing the new offerings from Volvo (now owned by the Chinese) and Saab (now owned by the Dutch, the Emirates, and some guys that may have ties to organized crime.) All for Vanity Fair.

I Cover Robert Flack

A dysfunctional pre-school, an amazing record collection, copious amounts of alcohol, a bathtub, and Roberta Flack all figure prominently in the piece I did for the Soundtrack Series. Listen to it here.

My Brother’s Band Rocks SHOWTIME

My brother’s band, The High Strung, has landed the theme song for Showtime’s US version of the hit British show SHAMELESS, which is all about an alcoholic father and his adorably dysfunctional brood of a half-dozen kids. Watch listen to the one minute video here.
