    It's been one heck of a summer already and my energy reserves were very low for this episode but the energy of the jams were...well, also low but also kinda high. Regardless, they're all very smooth. Enjoy.

ryansc0tt ,

Is this the best aural experience available on the Internet?

Possibly. I mean, who can say? But KVGM is just about the smoothest thing that has ever slid into these two ear holes. And that's saying something! Get ready for the chillest VGM deep cuts, peppered with the most rhetorical of questions posed by the mellowest of hosts.

Tekroiz ,

Super cool

A lot of obscure hidden gems in this for VGM, really underrated. Discovering this almost feels like finding a secret room in a video game.

Pete Grüble ,

Can‘t go wrong.

Always a good listen, whether you’re home on a Sunday morning, or driving down the coast.
