I got to spend some time with LA-based party rock band The Sloppy Boys, who were at Sonic Ranch in West Texas last year recording their fourth album. The band has its roots in sketch comedy and were brought together by their love of Weezer, free tequila and a few other factors. Check out our chat and check out their new record, which was produced by friend-of-the-show Money Mark.

I sit down with my friend Rep. Veronica Escobar, who represents El Paso in Congress. We talk about everything from her origins in politics to her views on some of the biggest issues facing our country today. Check it out and keep an open mind. We won't always have to agree on everything. But we can start by listening.

    Wiretap Scars is such a good album. I do wish the demos were easy to find. I remember having nearly the entire album in demo form courtesy of whatever torrent system was popular in 2003.

    I was late to the Drive Like Jehu party. I've been a fan ever since. Hot Snakes lives on forever on my gym playlist. The world lost a very humble punk rock icon. RIP Rick

    Matt has written fantastic bass parts in all the Sparta records. Glasshouse Tarot and Crawl come to mind. And Jim drinking a Topo Chico is El Paso as hell.

    Still a great band, but Tony and Paul are missed. A second guitarist would add to the sound.

      1000 percent. Jim is amazing, and I'm so glad he is having fun...BUT Tony and Paul were THE REST OF ATDI (minus the afros) and that kick ass section, is yes, seriously seriously missed. I told Jim that I, as a twenty plus year fan, HATE Trust The River. I think it sucked so bad. And luckily he heard me, (he told me so) and the next record is way better
