KVGM “The Last Wave” (5/15/22)

By |

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.

This week, we’ve got flight simulator grooves, racing grooves, extra dirty visual novel grooves, even cooking and billiard grooves. Of course, we’ve some classic composers in the house but also some new names. Plenty to dig into as we inch closer and closer to the 200th episode…and possibly the end of the Last Wave?

Welcome to May, spring is in full bloom and the jams are breezin’ ala George Benson. We make a return trip to the interactive world of Scrabble, get a little naughty on the PC, hang out with animal friends, play some SLOTS!, and really channel our emotions with some slow jams. Plus, a special request from Normally Retro for the cherry on top.

Lots of BACKGROUND MUSIC this week, with some unknown composers (no thanks to the KVGM Summer Interns). But you know, that’s okay…because the music more than makes up for the lack of information. We’ve got horse tracks, tourism tracks, picross tracks, powerful grandpa tracks, mahjong tracks, basketball beat ’em up tracks…even a little visual novel to check the boxes. If you want to help the summer interns by completing some of these “unknowns”, please reach out – kvgmradio@gmail.com. Help us help you.

If you like the Last Wave, and you haven’t already, please consider rating and reviewing the show on Apple Music to help get the word out there that KVGM brings only the smoothest video game music week in and week out. You can also rate the show on Spotify but not sure that really does anything…but it doesn’t hurt. Other than that…well…yeah…enjoy the jams this week, from bowling to soccer lifestyles of the rich and famous…to New Jack baseball swing…even a little horror survival for the real creeps out there.

More jams for cool kids in the house looking to jam out with the cool kids in their life. Even if you’re not cool, that’s okay, these jams don’t discriminate. They gesticulate. We’ve got scared drunk mechs, pensive detectives, messenger girl jams, CHARMSTONES!, apartment ooh la las, magic cards (not Magic cards), soccer, even a little GoldenEye action for children of the 90s. All that and much much more.
