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.

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.
Stream and download the album now on your platform of choice.

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!
