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.

Lots of BACKGROUND MUSIC this week, with some unknown composers (no thanks to the KVGM Summer Interns). But you know, that’s okay…because the music more than makes up for the lack of information. We’ve got horse tracks, tourism tracks, picross tracks, powerful grandpa tracks, mahjong tracks, basketball beat ’em up tracks…even a little visual novel to check the boxes. If you want to help the summer interns by completing some of these “unknowns”, please reach out – kvgmradio@gmail.com. Help us help you.

If you like the Last Wave, and you haven’t already, please consider rating and reviewing the show on Apple Music to help get the word out there that KVGM brings only the smoothest video game music week in and week out. You can also rate the show on Spotify but not sure that really does anything…but it doesn’t hurt. Other than that…well…yeah…enjoy the jams this week, from bowling to soccer lifestyles of the rich and famous…to New Jack baseball swing…even a little horror survival for the real creeps out there.
