Gimmicks are elements of a game that are the fundamental selling point, the core attention grabbing mechanic or experience that the game is built around. This episode, we're breaking down gimmicks in board games, figuring out if they're good or bad for the hobby, and talking about some of the most notable. Before we cave to flashy marketing, we also talk about Are You A Robot?, Jaws, and FUSE.

This week, our guest is Bay Area DJ / Producer Amerigo Gazaway. We talk to him about discovering hip hop through his brother's box of cassettes, his latest mashup album featuring Common and Stevie Wonder, and his favourite album covers of all time.

Blake Stilwell has an official, impressive title of Sr. Director of Digital Video Content at WeAreTheMIghty.com, but I call him a badass. He's got degrees in design, television & film, public relations and international relations. Blake is a former U.S. Air Force combat cameraman and Iraq War veteran who spent time as a field photographer and communications officer in the Middle East. 

He wrote a stellar interview about yours truly over "I Am Battle Comic" you can read here. Please share that and this chat with a service member in your tribe.

Thanks,

Jordan

People, people. Welcome to a very special episode of BAWL! On this one we are foregoing our usual brand of randomness and sports to make way for a very special guest. We have Producer/DJ/MC/Awesome person Amerigo Gazaway on with us. We talk all about his Soul Mates projects, how he got started in music, his love for technology, old school video games and his future in music. Plus we get an exclusive as he unveils his newest project for our show. Trust us, it’s a big one. We were honored to do this show and honored you stopped by. Check it out. It's BAWL!

Hip Hop impresario Amerigo Gazaway is one of my favorite music producers. He reworks samples and records so that his songs transcend both original recordings. Furthermore, an Amerigo Gazaway albums tell a story, like LP's did back in the vinyl days. Moreover, it's his love for his source material and his authenticity that resinates with listeners. Bombarded with cease-and-desist letters for sampling, it all changed when Apple chose his Mos Def/Marvin Gaye retooling into a "Yasiin Gaye" song "You Are Undeniable" for a commercial. (Click the link to get on iTunes.) It's the first unauthorized mashup to be used for a major brand, and a landmark breakthrough for hip hop.

Watch this Apple Computer TV spot "Jason's Verse" to hear the funky "Yasiin Gaye" track.

Amerigo schools me on sample trolls, copyright law, his process and the Brazilian "Cannibalist Manifesto". Near the end of our chat, he turns the tables and asks me about the selection of music for film and commercials.

Thank you,

The fourth voyage to the west did not turn out to be of any great importance. Being left behind by the captain, Vespucci and the men that remained would catch birds with their hands and build a fortress.  The fifth and sixth voyages of Vespucci were not intended to be expeditions of discovery, nope..  load those ships with gold and pearls.

This voyage would change how the world was viewed, Mundus Novus or “New World” but, who cares, where is that passage to the orient?

If you would like to read the letters of Vespucci you can find them at: http://mith.umd.edu/eada/html/display.php?docs=vespucci_letters.xml

How could I talk about the discovery of America without involving this man, Amerigo Vespucci?  His history relies so much on two letters written to a friend.  He mentions a book that would cover the accounts of his voyages, a book never written?  Or just never published and remains in someone’s deep dark cellar?  You can find the letter describing his first voyage at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1497vespucci-america.asp
