KVGM “The Last Wave” (5/29/22)

KVGM “The Last Wave” (5/29/22)

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.

This week, business as usual as we feature more jams from more games composed by more composers but next week’s episode will be extra special, as the Last Wave will be participating in the cross-promotional event, the Masters of VGM. Throughout the month of June, VGM podcasts will be selecting their favorite four composers who are masters of making video game music. As for us, you know we’re looking to represent the certified JAM MASTERS. Stay tuned!

It only happens once a year but today is that day, where the Last Wave and the Last Wave After Dark are released simultaneously. That means, if you’re not already a member of the Patreon, now’s the best time to get onboard and get access to a backlog of very special episodes devoted to soundtracks, composers, even special guests. It’s only $2.22 a month (hence the 22nd of every month) so it’s less than a cup of coffee but by supporting the show, you help us keep the lights on at the KVGM studio.

Welcome to May, spring is in full bloom and the jams are breezin’ ala George Benson.

Plus, a special request from Normally Retro for the cherry on top.
