KVGM “The Last Wave” (8/9/20)

KVGM “The Last Wave” (8/9/20)

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 on sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.

Guess what? Jams, that’s what. Lots of ’em. From airplane simulators to virtual horse racing, from Takeshi Abo to Kenichi Okuma – you know ’em, you love ’em, we got ’em. We’re coming closer and closer to the extra special 100th episode, and here at KVGM, we’ve been reaching out to some very special guests to make that 100th episode even extra special. That’s a whole lot of special.

Golf, tennis, mahjong, scuba diving, sexy puzzles, robot puzzles, poison(?), and, of course, baseball. The fundamentals of smooth video game jams. Well, maybe not poison or robot puzzles…but you get the idea. It’s crazy to think that we’re in August already, the year more than halfway over — although, to be fair, 2020 has felt like 5 years so far. Enjoy summer if you can. Go out to somewhere beautiful and isolated and commune with nature because we can’t commune with each other.

Lots of Sega this week but also house favorite, Takeshi Abo, a return to Pia Carrot, and an ending track to end all ending tracks (maybe?) from a boxing game on the FM Towns. And hey, if you want even more Last Wave, I’m toying around with a few ideas of doing something extra special for the listeners…maybe a Patreon thing, maybe not, I don’t know. Sound off in the comments and let us know if you want more content! Thanks for listening!

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!

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!
