KVGM “The Last Wave” Two Year Anniversary (11/15/20)

KVGM “The Last Wave” Two Year Anniversary (11/15/20)

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAST WAVE! This week, we celebrate Year 2 of broadcasting on the KVGM airwaves and re-visit some favorite soundtracks from the past year. Thank you all for the continued support throughout 2019-2020, and we hope to be celebrating a third anniversary in 2021. Last year, I said let’s hope the planet doesn’t die in 2020…and while it technically is still alive, 2020 hit it hard. 2021 can only be an improvement…right? RIGHT?!

Happy Halloween (belated! And while this show isn’t necessarily spooky, we offer a ton of sweet treats in the form of jams. Mostly sweet jams but sometimes bittersweet. Because love is a battlefield. We’re also a couple weeks away from the Last Wave’s two year anniversary so get ready to revisit some soundtracks from our second year. And keep on shipping out those requests…we’ve got a bit of a backlog but we’ll play your track, just hang on!

Another week, another half hour of jams. Lots of unknowns but the unknowns in life make things a little more interesting, less predictable. We’ve got a Perfect Stranger spinoff theme, walking pachi balls, TOEIC training guides, and even snickerdoodle cookie cakes, yum yum yum. If you keep listenin’, we’ll keep jammin’ out the jams!

And of course, it wouldn’t be the Last Wave without a little naughty visual novel action. Good grief.

This week, Aqua City looked like a scene from Mad Max 2 due to high winds blowing in smoke and ash from nearby wildfires. But even as the year 2020 continues to be an obvious sign of the apocalypse, we sit back and enjoy some very chill music from racing, bowling, basketball, and Miami drunk singles action. Which leather pants are YOUR favorite? Sound off on the website, or send us an e-mail at kvgmradio@gmail.com with a link to the perfect pair of leather pants for those steamy Miami club nights.
