I have come across my first real problem with this “lifestreaming” thing… namely that streams are flat. As might be expected, the complexity of real world experience is difficult to distill into a stream where every piece of data possesses equal weight. Current

I agree the linear chronological lifestreams don't represent you very well. There are some that break up the streams by type before listing chronologically. Example: music, bookmarks, then everything else.
The problem with identifying kitsch is that this is a very difficult problem to solve automatically. There would have to be some kind of UI for you to tag or enter a mode "kitsch". Even if you used machine learning to group this burst of ABBA as being "not normal", which is possible, automatically labeling this with an aesthetic label would be incredibly difficult.
When I started reading your post I was thinking in terms of weighted feeds. You give your last.fm feed a weight of 1 and your blog feed a weight of 5. The lifestream would "layer" and emphasize blog posts much higher than every last.fm squabble or every twitter tweat.
This is a type of lifestream that I am playing with as research, but haven't found such a beast out there yet.

great insights. i am trying to build a facebook app (who isn't today?) based on lifestream concept and bumped to the same problems. i am pretty sure i can't come to close what you want but here are my ideas:
* weight feeds:
something i create is more important than something i consume, so weight creations automatically more and allow the user to change weights for the consumed ones.
* context:
it is hard to capture but maybe context can be build when your lifestream consumer is interested. for example, i saw you have listened abba and *commented* on your last.fm stream that you are a retard for listening abba. this will give you chance to clarify the situation and create a context. far from perfect, but at least something.
