About Me


My name is Bickel. It's not Pickle. My rhymes are classic but those Pickles are Vlassic.
///
Occultonomy /// Smashism /// Emoviolencia /// Direkt Aktionism /// Viva Las Symbionistas! ///
THE QUOTABLE CHRIS BICKEL (CONDENSED VERSION):
"YOU CAN WEAR A COWBOY HAT TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO WEAR COWBOY HATS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER GUY WEARING A COWBOY HAT."
"REALITY IS ELITIST"
"SOMETIMES THERE IS ONLY INDULGENCE AND THE LACK OF MONEY THAT KEEPS US FROM IT"
"SASSIFICATION IS THE DEARTH OF DESIRE"
"SPRAY PAINT MAKES AN EXCELLENT PERFUME"
"SMASHISM SEEKS TO REPLACE THE FAMILY UNIT WITH PILES OF DIRTY LAUNDRY"
"LET'S GET READY TO RUBBLE!"
"D.I.Y. MUSIC THEORY: IT'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE SHIT ANYWAY SO IT MAY AS WELL BE LOUD"
"YOU GOT YOUR GYROMANCY IN MY CHAOSOPHY!"
"AN EFFECTIVE THOUGHT SHOULD EMBARASS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IN THE COSMOS"
This is my current list of top ten favorite songs of all time:
Cheap Trick - Surrender
Buzzcocks - What Do I Get?
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong
Gang of Four - Damaged Goods
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Devo - Be Stiff
Standells - My Little red Book
Mission of Burma - Academy Fight Song
Van Halen - Unchained
And finally, a poem:
SHAVED OR HAIRY?
Why do you insist on asking me
If I like it shaved or hairy?
That's like asking me
If I like the old one hundred dollar bills
Or the new one hundred dollar bills
Just give me the money
People sometimes send me gifts.
