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.

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 Iād not be able to get any new releases out until January 18th, which put a lil crimp in our NEW MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY scheduleā¦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!

I met Rossā 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 āPimp On A Blimpā 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. ...
āYou 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 thereā¦ā
