Christian punk started making waves in U.K. in 1979

Yup... Before '79 there were a few bands didn't get attention like Ishmael United & Giantkiller. & then there was Bill Mason Band, who started making waves in the punk scene in 1979 with their release, "No Sham!" (please see smaller picture) If you have some lyrics for their songs, can you please... please... please place their lyrics in my comment space... & I will be glad if you do... How I wish some site will provide some mp3s of some of the songs from these guys... Oh well. & Oh, check out also 100% Proof. They're also in the vein of 70s-80s Christian punk rock. I'm really surprised that there's this punk scene two years back before Undercover in the U.S. in 1982 released their self-titled debut album (see larger picture).

Rediscovering my youth, & back then my articles are kinda controversial.

Well... I redisovered my old blogsite... I kinda posted some intersting things there back in February to March 2005. Kinda interesting to look back on those good old days where I just sit at the computer & just blasted my insights off to the blog-hopping public. Oh well... Here are just of the FCM bands I discovered that had Soundclick accounts (yup... & some of them have free mp3 downloads to boot!)... BoughtByBlood, & Ramoth Gilead. Seeing the site of Filipino Metal really puts to the world the almost-biased state of Metal scene here... the occult, atheism, etc., hackneyed themes of metal. I think it will be the most controversial thing here if somehow a Christian metal band here in the country made its way to the airwaves... I think it would be cool also if I had a band that's kinda like Mortification meets Horde plus Crimson Moonlight, & then the instrumentals will be kinda like Immortal Souls... I recently listened to "Scarab" by xDISCIPLEx A.D. in the net, & somehow the music's kinda moshable. I also like to hear some songs from No Innocent Victim's "No Compromise" album, because I've seen in some comments in Amazon.com that their style here is old school hardcore. Oh well, that's all for now, & God bless the Philippine Youth! Vi de udødelige inviterer dere til å slå dere sammen med oss...

Research proposal mania... ha ha... & other stuff about AIDS

Well... I just started looking for proteins in HIV that have conserved sequences. he he. Just now. I'm really inspired by the "Wonder Drug" created by my friend through AutoDock (a molecular docking program) which inhibits the activity of HIV-2 reverse transcriptase. Yup. A potential component of the under-construction cure for the dreaded disease which most of us are very afraid of. I really want to do Molecular Docking research in my thesis because: 1. I'm really flabbergasted at the very large number of heterocyclic molecules stored in heterocycles.jp's database, & I want to make some use of some of the compounds there (many of which has no name) 2. I want to do an AIDS-related research, &, 3. I'm having a difficulty when it comes to finances. & look what I've seen... a Tat protein (TAT = Transactivating regulatory). The protein in the virus that causes it to reproduce. I don't know if I would be taking a lonely path or what, but God knows, maybe there's really an inhibitor that's not toxic. I have seen (maybe) potential analogs in the Heterocycles website, & God willing, I can propose a new inhibitor replacing the old RO 24-7429. Prayers for me, because I really need a Molecular Docking topic for my thesis & I really want to graduate next semester. I'm really clueless for a back-up topic, but I really want it to be an inhibitor proposal for another HIV protein. Well, that's all for now.

To the tune of "Wake Me Up When September Ends"

Well... "Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn Plays". With screeching unblack vocals & a Cathedral organ solo. Forgive me metalheads for posting this thing on the net, because I can't get it out of my system (I thought about it & it can't get out of my head). but if you want to kill me, maybe you'd better sit down & think about the Fifth commandment. he he.

Lengsel has come & passed
No Innocent Victim at last
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn Plays

like Maylene was here at last
Old Underoath sound was past
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn Plays

Here comes the guys again
from Stars Are Falling
Drenched in screaming much like
Becoming The Archetype

As I lay Dying sings
But Frost Like Ashes is what I sought
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays

Lengsel has come & passed
No Innocent Victim at last
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays

Screech out like Horde again
Like we did when Jay began
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays

Here comes the guys again
from Stars Are Falling
Drenched in screaming much like
Becoming The Archetype

As I lay Dying sings
but Frost Like Ashes is what I sought
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays

Lengsel has come & passed
No Innocent Victim at last
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays

Like Vengeance Rising has passed
when Roger took the evil path
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays
Wake Me Up When Crimson Thorn plays
