i think about this fellow all the time when I think about ILX. I still feel awful about being rude to him once or twice, serves me right, I won't do that again. His love for music was really contagious, and I listen to a lot of the same music myself, and I really do think about him every time I hear something he used to rave about. A genuine music fan, and I think he was a fine man.

Was just talking to a couple of ilxors about him the other day. ILM isnt the same without him.

When I die, please bury some talisman of Lou Reed with me. Just some symbol of him, anything. A tiny shred of his album cover, anything. When I die, he's going to be there, man. He's gonna wave to me and smile, and I'll know my life wasn't in vain.

i missed this because it happened during a time when i wasn't often checking in. since returning, i've noticed his absence of course, but based on a passing comment, i assumed that he'd simply quit posting here, had been banned or something. though i didn't really know him, we corresponded a bit, and at the time, i looked forward to getting to know him better. you've all dealt, i suppose, but i'm so sad and sorry to finally hear this. don't know what to say or do. some belated goodbye.

Woke up this morning with Felt's "Ballad of the Band" in my head. Googled it, first result was Bimble's blog.

Although this was the song he really liked:

Nearly a year. aim chatz has always felt empty without him. I really hope bimble is at peace now.I found out a couple of months ago that an old friend of mine committed suicide 2 years ago (ironically his name was Mark too), didn't get a chance to go to his funeral. Even if you don't see someone for a few years, they don't stop being a friend. Not even in death.

I think we all miss him. ILM sure misses him. No-one loved to talk endlessly about music with such enthusiasm more than bimble.

his OP on the chic thread is one of my favourites.

one of his more understated ones though
i feel bad for poor crut, that is a horrible story in the OP (of this thread). sorry dude, hope you're okay.

and thanks, Daniel. His cousin lived around the corner from me but I hadn't seen her since it happened. Kinda out of the loop. I had heard a few months before I found out thatone of the brothers had died but I had thought it was the younger one, when I saw their cousin and asked,it turned out that that day was the 2nd anniversary of his death and they had just been to a mass for him. Strange coincidence.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 23:58 (thirteen years ago) link
appropos of nothing, i guess, but i've been thinking lately about a friend of mine who died a few years ago. she graduated 15th from my law school class in the mid-90s. brilliant woman. we worked together at a white-shoe ny firm (in the boca raton office) for a few years.
i worry that i wasn't a good enough friend in the last few years. i miss her.

It hurts me to see that every revive of this, theres someone who still didnt know :(

this is the day isn't it. i will never forgot how shitty i felt, for someone i didn't even know in real life, one year ago today.
RIP Bimble you are missed every single day on ILM.

I was going through a heavy Replacements period late last year, so I pulled up The Replacements: Classic or Dud? to read and was knocked sideways by this post (which was paired with a now broken clip of "I Will Dare"). I didn't even know him that well, but I was almost in tears 'cause the philosophy was so beautiful.

it's really hard to believe that a whole year will have passed - it still feels like...well, not yesterday, but maybe only a few weeks ago that he passed. I still get bummed out pretty often thinking about this. :(
