On this week’s episode, we bring you songs about being intoxicated: with substances, with love, with our total lack of fucks to give. Our usual variedad, pero maybe a bit tipsy. ¿Si ya saben como nos ponemos pa que nos invitan?

Thank you so much for this episode and for your podcast. I am a middle-aged white woman living in rural Vermont, where I never hear Latinx music on the radio. I was a bad drunk white girl in Mexico for a long time, and now I work helping Mexican and Guatemalan farmworkers access education and learn English in Vermont. The guys I work with love bachata, cumbia, and reggaeton, which I know so little about. I love to learn about music from them, but I also very much appreciate your smart queer female curatorial presence on my long drives to farms in the middle of nowhere. And to learn about Rubby, who I might actually be able to see perform someday! I have discovered so many fabulous artists through your podcast, and I’m doing my best to buy the albums I love and put money in those folks’ pockets. One thing, though: those aren’t 40s in the Borracho video. Mexican caguamas are only 32 ounces. That’s maybe the only thing I could ever school you on. Unless you do an episode on 90s rock en español. Speaking of which, Quisiera Ser Alcohol by Los Caifanes would have been a good one for this episode. Check it out if you haven’t heard it!
