KVGM “The Last Wave” (5/5/19)

KVGM “The Last Wave” (5/5/19)


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.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! We’re celebrating May (and Hammock’s dad’s birthday) with a little more fishing and mahjong and BASKETBALL! Yasunori Mitsuda soothes our souls with a track from a World War I RPG and of course, the show wouldn’t be complete without a trip to an early 2000’s European discotheque! Oh, and tomorrow…everyone will be friends. Mark my words.

We’re a quarter of the way to the historic Last Wave 100 extravaganza and it’s all thanks to listeners like you…and you! This week, we preemptively celebrate with a little John Hancock score, a hamster beach party, a pampering at the puppy day spa, and a very personal journey of robot construction. Are we okay with the inevitable future of a technological hierarchy? Can we survive in a world without APPS?! WHO KNOWS!

It’s another jam-packed show (emphasis on the JAM) on this Easter Sunday. It’s like an easter egg hunt…but we’ve already done the hunting and the plastic eggs are full of the smoothest VGM soundwaves. But we cheat a little bit this week…just enough to squeeze in a very slick track from the AdLib Music Synthesizer…but we make up for it with more mahjong, golf, fishing, and horse racing tracks. Even Bomberman makes a special guest appearance.

More mahjong, more golf, a little gardening thrown in, some baseball…oh, and of course, the Leisure Suit Larry series. Spring is already off to a great start and these jams are sure to make those April showers in your life…more like April flowers in your life.

Hi April. Hi again 64DD. Hi Amigos and Amigas. We’re back with more breezy goodness, embarking on mystical journeys to Mermaid Islands and Dolphin Shoals. Once again, the allure of mahjong has taken hold as Hammock gets closer and closer to taking a trip to the local retirement home to learn how to play. It can’t be that hard, right?

It’s warming up out there, the flowers are in bloom – spring time is upon us! And what better way to celebrate than with the Last Wave, bringing you tons of jams devoted to vacation, smooth continents, tennis courts, leisure time, and Yoshi being so dang cute. We’ve got Famicoms and Super Famicoms, Playstations and Playstation Vitas (which, I’m still not convinced actually exist). A little something for everyone.

Lots of PlayStation 2 jams this week but also familiar jaunts to the Super Famicom and PC-98. If the audio is a bit subdued, it’s because my wife was sleeping…next to the studio, of course. There is no actual sleeping space in the KVGM studio. Well, okay, technically, the floor is a potential sleeping space but there is no bed in the KVGM studio. There’s only…a hammock. Wink wink.

Whether you’re sailing across the ocean or experiencing a blind date in a dark dungeon somewhere, the Last Wave has you covered. We confirm that yetis are, in fact, very chill, and that pinball jazz is worth listening to if you can get close enough to the machine. Keep feeding us those requests and we’ll keep playing them on the show!

Lots of unknowns this week but it’s the unknown that makes life interesting. It keeps us on our toes. And sometimes, the unknown creates sweet VGM jams. Takeshi Abo is back, Minesweeper is still boring, and golf games really are livin’ that Weekend at Bernie’s life.

Well, KVGM is under a foot and a half of snow but we’re still managing to find plenty of hot tracks to melt away the gloom. The request line is poppin’, Takeshi Abo is jammin’, Summon Night: Twin Age is resonatin’. Tons of emotion.
