Re: (313) A friend has passed
my post from the dluv board: Re:sad day for music in detroit... « Reply #10 on: Today at 10:36:53pm » Bryan and I fist met through Steve Lammers (and another MSU dork, Ish) at MSU's radio station during the Mechanical Pulse in '95/96. Countless Fridays were spent there. He and Lammers would exchange music, talk and horseplay while I sat on the dirty, gum covered carpet and just listened.and learned. When the radio station moved to its current location- we did the same. We gathered there like it was our clubhouse. Like our oasis of sanity via music and the power of college radio. I remember Bryan and I often clashed heads.He had a slick tongue- and so did I. He,I,Scott Pruett and Steve Lammers would hang out, dork out and occasionally piss eachother off.all in good fun. On special occasions Bill would pop in while down from going to school up north. These things are what I remember of Bryan. The faded Tshirt worn under a faded button down and the same pants. The shoes that turned in and the teeth that gleemed every time he chuckled. His light colored eyes. His fondness for the obscure and the complete obvious. I attended one of the first meetings of a club, The Ambient Friends Network, formed for Ambient dork heads.If I remember correctly it was at Bill's house. The ritual would be to gather, listen to records and share music. Fellow dorks would gather the same night in diff't cities.When's the last time anyone did that? I remember feeling completely intimidated by Bryan at some points. I knew his game was always one step ahead. His music knowledge waiting to see where mine went next. I didn't know Bryan was sick until today. Death is never fair. That's why it wins most of the time. It is hope's arch nemesis. At times like this, those of us that have moved away find it most difficult to be far. Please know that all of us wish, with the deepest love of the community that created us, that we could be there right now to grieve and reflect with loved ones.our friends.the city. gessa nurra bryan bickel. let's do it again sometime soon. np:Al Green __ Do you Yahoo!?

Fine man in person and from afar. jeff
RE: (313) A friend has passed
i am in shock and very saddened, i haven't seen brian for years. he was the first person to help me buy records at record time back in 97, so his influence on myself was huge. as i'm sure it was for many in detroit and elsewhere. ani : -Original Message- : From: Ian Malbon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 11:39 AM : To: 313@hyperreal.org : Subject: (313) A friend has passed : : : I have little experience at this, so please forgive the : brevity of this : message. : : On Wednesday April 7, Bryan Bickel lost his battle with illness and : passed away. : : Some of you may have known him from this and other lists, or his days : in the dance room at Record Time, or his support at countless : live PAs : and DJ events.
