"A dreamy, hazy off-kilter take on indie rock, It ushers you into their reverb laden
woozy world" - BBC's Vic Galloway on 'Calypso Kool'

Ironically named due to Scotland's often gloomy weather and their desire for warmer climates and surfier times,  The Tropicanas represent  West Lothian with their off kilter brand of chilled grooves!

The instrument swappin' Tropicanas are:  Andrew Burns(Guitar/Vocals) Ruaridh MacPherson (Drums/Guitar/Vocals) Joe Murty (Bass/Vocals) Joe White (Guitar/Drums) and Ryan MacPherson (Synth), and they have a big year planned with a string
of newly recorded tracks ready to be drip-fed out over the course of the year and a host of gigs booked across Scotland!

Extremely hands-on; writing, recording and releasing music independently, as well as creating their own artworks and videos, The Tropicanas combine inspirations from modern bedroom recorders, such as Mac DeMarco, Stevie R. Moore and Tame Impala, With Bossa Nova legends such as Jorge Ben Jor and João Gilberto: creating a
unique Lo- Fi sound.

'The Trops' have been blessed to share the stage with acts such as Neon Waltz and Peach Pit, as well as playing the Pyramid Stage at the amazing Kelburn festival.

PERVERTS Episode 8: Skyrim Sex Mods feat Scott Benson (Sample)

The Colonial Roots of Zionism: Palestine, Israel, and the U.S. Empire

What is Iran’s military and political strategy now that it has struck back against Israel’s illegal bombing of its embassy, and with another cycle of escalation looming? Israel’s strikes killed over a dozen people, including two Iranian generals, while Iran’s response produced no casualties. Why is Israel escalating? What does global public opinion look like towards the U.S. Empire on one side and the “Axis of Resistance” on the other? What consequences could the U.S. face in the region if Israel strikes again?

Brian Becker is joined by Prof. Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies and postcolonial literature who teaches at the University of Tehran.

We hit the books and head back to school, checking out a couple of university encampments and comparing what we saw to what columnists and politicians are saying. Then we talk Israel, deflections, and students and donors as customers.

Episode 374: Quad Squad

The Duran Quick Take: Episode 90.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss UK Prime Minister Theresa May's announcement that if her deal or a no-deal Brexit is rejected by MPs in the House of Commons, then her government will propose delaying the UK’s exit from the European Union.

In a similar retreat, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced that his party will either table or support an amendment backing a second Brexit referendum this week.

Corbyn said that Labour would support a second referendum in order to avoid a “damaging Tory Brexit”.  Corbyn went on to accuse Theresa May of “recklessly running down the clock” in an attempt to force MPs to choose between her “botched deal” or a “disastrous no deal” scenario.

SHAMEFUL! May and Corbyn fold on Brexit. Delay and 2nd referendum on the table
