Brothers and sisters, please make some fucking noise for the Meaningwave Universe’s newest member, the honourable Pope NICK REKIETA, smashing into the MU with the instant monster smash record, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR THE PEOPLE!
(https:/ ...
As you may know, I have years worth of Meaningwave records planned out years in advance, each building on what came before, each part of a grand narrative, and each able to exist on its own…But I always make sure to leave some room for that unplanned lightning bolt stroke of SUDDEN INSPIRATION, which must always be acted upon immediately, for as we know, inspiration is perishable…
This was one of those situations, whereon I happened upon a clip of everyone’s favourite public-facing lawyer slash cultural commentator slash toast-master slash pope, breaking down something crucial and fundamental with such utter brutal glittering clarity that I had to drop everything I was doing and with extreme violent urgency tear the song that appeared in my head out of 5D idea space and into our own existence.
I got most of it out into being in a few hours, then spent about a month chiseling away at the sonic detailing, those tiny little things like drum rolls and lasers and the exact right guitar tone and a choir of glitter particles to explode forth from the final wails of the solo… and that was BEFORE I handed it over to my guy mighty James Millar for the final mix and master polish, and I do believe he sent over about 8 versions before it was deemed ready to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace.
Well, now it’s unleashed, and it’s yours, and I hope you enjoy its existence as much as I enjoyed participating in the creation of it.
Special thanks to Pope Nick for blessing its release, and spitting the bars of righteousness in the first place.
LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to the quarter century mark. That sure went by fast. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - THAt sure went by fast! And now here we are in the new calendar year.
My distributor informed me a few days before Christmas that they were shutting shop for a few weeks, so I’d not be able to get any new releases out until January 18th, which put a lil crimp in our NEW MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY schedule…And it occurred to me whilst under the barbell in the gym on New Years Eve, which is where all my best ideas occur to me, to make you a special mix for the New Year. So I did. And that mix is now live for you to enjoy.
GO!

Patrons and supporters on Patreon, Youtube, and now X can download the mix for free here.

MEANWHILE! I am taking the extra time I’ve been allotted to make what would have been this week's single extra beautiful. So it’s getting a gospel choir, which I always thought it deserved. And you’re gonna...
“I want you
To understand what it means
To lose your freedom…”
Ross Ulbricht (https://freeross.org/case-overview/) is currently serving two life sentences in a maximum security jail, where he’s been since 2013, for creating the world’s first online digital marketplace based around Bitcoin.
This is his story. Told in his own words, via phone-call from prison, transmuted into music.
Understand what it means - to lose your freedom.

I met Ross’ mother, Lyn, late last year, when I was in Miami to perform my Ayn Rand EP (https://go.meaningwave.com/ANTHEM) at the Atlas Society gala. The World renowned “Pimp On A Blimp” Alex Stein very sweetly invited me to a party being hosted by Tim Pool, where I had a lovely time and met a number of fascinating people, and late in the night I was introduced to Lyn. ...
“You can't pursue happiness
You could pursue a wild animal
You could pursue a ball
That's rolling downhill
You could pursue a car
You could pursue a dog
Because those are all real
But happiness you can't pursue
You could end up happy
But you can't pursue happiness
There are two things
You can pursue
That'll get you there…”
Make some noise for the grand return of Scott Adams () to the Meaningwave Universe! And with a song that couldn’t be more perfectly Meaningwave if it was synthesized in a lab by a team of 100 genius-level Meaningwave scholars 2000 years from now...

I sent it to Scott last week, and he replied straight away, “I love it! But I am biased.” Which is fair. I love it too, and I hope you do too. Hey look! Here’s the music video!
