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 KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock.

Happy Post-Halloween and it’s somehow already November but that’s okay, that’s alright, we’re still here, the world is still burning, but we’re still churning (see what I did there) out the jams. We’re leaning heavy on the PS4 this week but that’s okay but we’re dealing straight jams (and sometimes gentle jammers).
