THIS WEEK IN MEANINGWAVE!
GREAT WEEK WOO!
MUCH EPIC ACTIVITY!
For a start, Hercules graduated from dead hang training to pull up training in the gym this week, launched a new Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@IdiotMarioBros302), AND hosted the first half hour of a stream (https://linktw.in/RzRJRl), doing his first DJ set and adding a bunch of epic commentary commentary to some Meaningave classics. His reaction to the Charlies Bukowski-penned BORN LIKE THIS was particularly entertaining.

We also had a brand new mixtape, the effervescent NEW LIFE, and a brand new accompanying merch drop.

“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.
