BAGHDAD - HEAVY METAL


In today's installment of [Heavy Metal in Baghdad](http://www.vbs.tv/shows/index.php?show=Heavy Metal In Baghdad&r=viceblog) we give the guys in Acrassicauda a little breathing room and hook up with Mike, the sharp-looker you may have noticed front and center and filming at their first concert in exile. Mike's another Iraqi expat as well as the president of the Acrassicauda fan club (you're damn right they've got a fan club), and as he's been living like a refugee for a little longer than the guys, he knows the ins and outs of Damascus's Little Iraq, so we asked him to give us a little tour of the sites…

We've also got a new edition of Practice Space, with the clean-cut, sunny gumdrops of sparkling sunshine that make up Philadelphia's A-Sides, as well as an encore presentation of the Jason Dill episode of Epicly Later'd (for those of you either unable or unwilling to utitlize the archives conveniently located beneath this blurb). And as always, there are two new DOs & DON'Ts & Friends to get you started and a pair of new videos in the music channel from Sub Pop.
