Buen dia familia! It’s a beautiful day to be alive here at the peak of recorded days to be alive. This week I have been working on the artwork for the next two albums, including their associated singles, instrumental versions, and so on, and BY JOVE they are looking beautiful and I am excited to announce the release dates this week!
As always, keep an eye slash ear on the streams for previews and the first glimpses of new material… last night we played a track from the next album, which I can now confirm is called THE STRANGEST SECRET IN THE WORLD and features vocals from the legendary Earl Nightingale… Something many of you have been asking me to do for many years now, and something I’ve been looking forward to doing for many years as well…
Check out the replay of last night’s stream for that, and join us tonight as we celebrate the completion of a whole WEEK with a suitably jubilant PARTY!

THIS WEEK IN MEANINGWAVE!
MEANINGWAVE SUPER REQUEST SHOW! | MEANINGSTREAM 481
(https://go.meaningwave.com/MEANINGSTREAM481)
Meaningwave classics chosen by YOU were deployed like bullets from a life-giving machine gun… Another classic request show!
AN0MALY | MEANINGSTREAM 482
(https://go.meaningwave.com/MEANINGSTREAM482)
We were joined on the stream by brother AN0MALY, cultural and political commentator, rapper, and world-famous disco-dancing chandelier-botherer. We talked about when he used to come to see me DJ in Hollywood, tactics for surviving the forthcoming year of hitherto unimaginable propaganda fare, and he decided to rap over some of my instrumentals without warning, in the manner of a warrior.
MANLY P. HALL: THE MYSTERY OF TIME ⌛️ | MEANINGSTREAM 483
(https://go.meaningwave.com/MEANINGSTREAM483)
We did one of our patented lofi livescores for a classic talk from MU superstar Manly P Hall's The Mystery of Time and How to Master It for Self Development. The whole thing was a beautiful and useful journey, and came together in quite the euphoric fashion at the end. High fives all around.
REGULATORS!!! | MEANINGSTREAM 484
(https://go.meaningwave.com/MEANINGSTREAM484)
On Thursday we engaged in EXTREME VIBE REGULATION.. And as mentioned previously, debuted a brand new song from the forthcoming album, THE STRANGEST SECRET IN THE WORLD…
SEE YOU TONIGHT FOR THAT AFOREMENTIONED EPIC PARTY! And hold tight for the release dates of the next two albums - THE STRANGEST SECRET IN THE WORLD, and MEDITATIONS II, next week!

“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...

"Mr. Hitchcock
What is your definition
Of happiness?
A clear horizon
Nothing to worry about
On your plate
Only
Things that are creative"
We are joined this week in the Meaningwave Universe by a new voice, that of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, speaking to us across space and time of happiness, on this soaring new instant classic, with vocals sampled from 1964’s CBS TV special, Telescope, A Talk with Alfred Hitchcock.
