My name is Dave Choi and what we have here is a world class collection of random amusements, bemusements and ruminations. This Tumblr is my soapbox from which I will point and laugh at the rest of the world.

Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition but after Saddam’s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.</p> </blockquote> <p>I just watched this last night, and was moved by the story behind the only Heavy Metal band in Baghdad. Inspirational, and at the same time, heart-breaking.. It really sucks to see these young people being dealt such a shitty hand in life, yet it’s awesome to see their effort to fight through the destruction that is a part of their everyday lives, as they strive to feed their passion for playing Heavy Metal music.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Suroosh Avli (for Vice):</em> “How did you guys decide to start a Metal band”</p> <p><em>Faisal (singer for Acrassicauda):</em> “If you really want to know what the attraction is, look around. <em>We are living in a Heavy Metal world.</em>”</p> </blockquote>http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15730111647http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15730111647Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:34:00 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4e45rMVh1r89d00o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mad Decent + Scooby Doo stylings</p>http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15261833293http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15261833293Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:09:17 -0600<iframe src="http://www.collegehumor.com/e/6422022" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Oldie but a goodie.</p> <p>Little kid dance battle.</p>http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15039796200http://tumblr.davechoi.com/post/15039796200Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:56:56 -0600therealericchoi: I don’t like Polo button ups.
