KVGM “The Last Wave” (12/1/19)

KVGM “The Last Wave” (12/1/19)

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.

December is upon us, like a wolf at the door…but a chill wolf who just wants to be cuddled by a warm fire. We’re still cranking out the smooth summer-y jams as the holiday fever begins to sweep the nation, including, of course, mahjong, golf, NBA jams and a track made especially for the horse lover in all of us. If you’ve got a holiday jam, send it to us via the 24/7 request line and we’ll play it on the show. Otherwise, it’s business as usual here at the Last Wave.

With Thanksgiving approaching, let’s give thanks to some wonderful composers and the smooth jams they produced for us to enjoy. I’m talking about Poland’s greatest son, Zbigniew Siatecki, Hikoshi Hashimoto, Hideki Naganuma, and the entire SNK Sound Team. Let’s give thanks to flight simulators and horse racing betting systems, to trying again next year, and perhaps, the second biggest thanks: GOLF GAMES! The first? YOU! The listener. Thank you for the continued support of the Last Wave on KVGM! And to those who celebrate, happy Thanksgiving.

Enter the Last Wave Year Two, where the jams just keep gettin’ smoother…if that’s even possible at this point, I don’t know. But we’ve got incredible hot air balloon action, Alaska golf courses, high rolling casinos, stock market simulators, and Richard Jacques laying it down for the Sega Dreamcast. Plus we take back-to-back strolls down Itadaki Street, where the slimes are too cool for school.

This weekend, my wife and I celebrate our anniversary in a cabin in the woods somewhere (with a hot tub, by the way), but KVGM is also celebrating another fantastic episode of the Last Wave, with casino magic, alchemy, virtual living, and of course, RACING, because the Last Wave wouldn’t be complete without a smooth racin’ jam!

We head back to the world of Final Fantasy to relax and reflect on our current life’s progression, whether that’s as a fashion mogul or a fisherman or even a team manager holding important…team meetings. Also, we’re nearing the Last Wave’s historic one year anniversary, which, to be honest, didn’t quite feel like a year. The seasons are blurring together now. But regardless, yay, one year! Thanks for making it happen, listeners! Let’s cross our fingers for two years!

Summer’s officially over but that doesn’t mean the jams have to stop. In fact, they won’t stop, can’t stop, unless you, the listeners, decide that they must stop because they’re too smooth. But is that possible? Can a jam truly be considered too smooth? I don’t think so…I’ll have to ponder that one. In the meantime, we’ve got Takeshi Abo, unused greatness from Daytona USA, Masaki Shimono master bassing, and Jake Hunter drivin’ his Mini Cooper and smoking cigarettes. So much smooth.
