Goodbye

Thank you so much for reading newgazzi, and prior to that, The Litmus Configuration, since July of 2009.  I think we brought smiles to your faces, whether you were a music fan, an SNL fan, a wrestling fan.  I just wanted to write about things I enjoyed, and find like minded people to share them with.

This isn't the last you'll hear of me, in fact, most of the content you were used to getting from newgazzi will still be delivered, on the newgazzi Facebook page, but without the strict deadlines I've put upon myself since I started this.  You'll still get newgazzi playlists, but not necessarily on the last Friday of every month.  You'll get a newgazzi playlist when we have 15 great new songs to share.   Future Fugazzi Grand content will be delivered here and there, without the daily need to post.  I'm pretty sure we'll do that much talked about tag team tournament at some point (with the help of Andy Gilmartin and Scott Wisniewski).

With that being said, this is the last post that I will ever publish here.  It's newgazzi Vol 23, consisting of songs from the top 15 albums of Fugazzi Grand III ....

Enjoy, and hopefully we'll see you on Facebook (newgazzi) ...

Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#4)

(#4, Revolver by The Beatles)

For years, I've been listening to the Abbey Road vs Sgt Pepper's debate as to which was the best Beatles album.  They're all wrong!  It's Revolver !!!  This is a perfect album, from start to finish.  And it only seems appropriate that I'm sharing this on a Sunday morning, as it as been a long standing tradition in my home to play Beatles records on Sunday morning.  Thinking of you today, dad.










Here is "Eleanor Rigby", "Here, There and Everywhere" and "And Your Bird Can Sing" ...
