A lot of unknowns this week…but that’s life, you know. Plenty of unknown variables. It keeps things interesting but can also be frustrating when all you want are answers. So who can you turn to? Baseball? D.D. Crew? Katsuhiro Hayashi? I don’t know. But what I do know is that if it’s smooth jams you’re looking for, the Last Wave provides!

This week, we’ve got vampire romance, Yuzo Koshiro clubbin’ it up, fast food delivery, and hanafuda, plus butt battles on the beach and Peter Park starring in Saved by the Bell. If none of that makes sense to you, listen to the show…because it’s chock full of sweet and sour jams. I’ve also got some ideas brewing for some possible mini-episodes somewhere down the line…I don’t, maybe a Patreon exclusive type situation but then again, you shouldn’t have to pay for smooth video game music. HAPPY DAD DAY!

No matter your circumstances, there are plenty of ways to support and provide aid to everyone in your community fighting for equity in America. Protestors are in need of supplies like food, water, first aid kits, and more. In addition to donating directly to bail funds (the National Bail Fund Network), you can help out your local black-owned businesses and restaurants – Bon Appétit has compiled a great list by city. Reclaim the Block organizes the Minneapolis community to move money from the police department in order to invest in areas such as violence prevention, housing, resources for youth, and emergency mental health response teams.

Summer is approaching, the weather is heating up, the jams are already hot, but at the same time, very chill. It’s the perfect balance. My wife and I are embarking on a journey into the desert of Aqua City Island – Crimson Sands, to be exact – for a little exploration and soul connection. Social distancing, if you will…well, minus my wife. But I hope you all enjoy these jams in my absence!
