Listener comments!
	👻 1:03pm WR: Tuesday Tuesday, semi alert Hi Miss Mei and all
	1:11pm David The Splatter: Afternoon, Miss Mei and anyone else.
	1:14pm Mr Fab: hey Miss Mei, and all you people I care about! Sorry, just tuned in now - what the heck does toothpaste have to do with ambient music? Did I miss an explanation?
	1:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 I have no idea. Someone just found this CD and uploaded it to the internet archive. They had no background on it.
	1:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 The date isn't a definite either. The art and sound of the music tells me it's early-mid 2000s, but it could be late 90s for all we know.
	1:25pm David The Splatter: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 Colgate sponsored it, probably means they sent it to Dentists' office to play. Just a thought.
	👻 1:31pm WR: ↳ David The Splatter @1:25 An appropriate thought, that is.
	1:32pm Miss Mei: ↳ David The Splatter @1:25 They actually have their own record label (or at least, HAD one.)
	1:32pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Colgate Total Atmosphere" by "Unknown" Better than Colgate Frozen Lasagna!
	1:35pm Mr Fab: Could be the '90s - bit of a "world music" influence here, and that was a kind of a big deal back then. Mixed with leftover '80s New Age-isms.
	1:36pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:35 I would place the disc somewhere between 1995-2008. No later or earlier than that though, I don't think.
	1:44pm Mr Fab: some on-line comments: -"this appears to be the only official release any of these songs ever received." -"They used to hand out stuff like this at grocery stores. I remember once in the '90s I got a Colgate or Crest VHS 20 min cartoon tape in the mail -unsolicited."
	1:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "A Day At The Beach, Plus..." by "Paradox" "A Day At The Beach" - Shouldn't that be by Pair O' Docks? (old joke, sorry)
	1:51pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "A Day At The Beach, Plus..." by "Paradox" Little bit of a backstory on this tape: I found this at my friend's house a year and a half back or so. Nothing about it was online, so I too it home without asking and digitised it. It was recorded by Italian-American social worker Pierre Tribaudi.
	1:51pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "A Day At The Beach, Plus..." by "Paradox" My friend's mother was also a social worker in the area, so she must have either bought the tape from/had the tape given to her by Tribaudi.
	1:55pm Mr Fab: Nothing online about this, and yet he went to the trouble of copywriting it, getting a barcode for the package, etc? That's not very "outside music," seems like he was really trying to make a career move with this.
	1:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "A Day At The Beach, Plus..." by "Paradox" I initially felt a little bad about taking it without asking, though it had been in that tape rack for over 2 decades by that point and I didn't think it would be noticed (and I was right!) Once I digitised side B, I knew I had made the right decision.
	1:59pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:55 He copyrighted 2 other audio cassettes, one that features words by one Mary Ferguson, who is likely the NY based social worker Mary Anne Ferguson.
	👻 2:01pm WR: ↳ Song: "Colgate Total Atmosphere" by "Unknown" I'm assuming that little Colgate blurb announced at the end of the last track was from the CD? Pretty minimal advert.
	2:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:01 That was the CD, I wasn't aware of that part initially as I'd never listened to all 7 tracks before today.
	👻 2:03pm WR: ↳ Song: "A Day At The Beach, Plus..." by "Paradox" incoming Plus, the added organ and other effects.
	2:04pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:03 Side B is almost up. that's when it gets real good!
	2:10pm Mr Fab: I just saw an article about recent testing to determine his health problems/cause of death revealed the presence of heavy metals in Beethoven's hair. hey comedians, there's a straight-line for ya!
	2:12pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:10 Whoever decided to save his hair made a good choice.
	👻 2:36pm Herb: hi
	2:36pm David The Splatter: I like the way all 3 of these tapes/CDs just blend in together. If I hadn't been paying attention to the Accu, I would've assumed this was all just one long tape.
	2:45pm Mr Fab: The Bonzo dog band did a song called “the canyons of your mind.“ It did not sound like this.
	2:47pm David The Splatter: ↳ Mr Fab @2:45 Nor does it sound like Noel Harrison's "Windmills of my Mind".
	2:49pm Mr Fab: A mind full of canyons, caverns, windmills...no wonder I can't think straight!
	2:49pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:45 Lots of barking, i imagine.
	👻 2:49pm Herb: ↳ Mr Fab @2:10 youtu.be...
	2:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ Herb @2:49 haha, I was thinking Beethoven's 5th is pretty metal.
	👻 2:52pm Herb: ↳ Mr Fab @2:51 & Disco (Walter Murphy)
	👻 3:00pm WR: I took a meditative nap during the last 20 minutes of this. Many thanks.
	3:01pm Miss Mei: Thanks for joining in on this fun all!
	👻 3:02pm Herb: Thanks!
	3:18pm Mr Fab: moocho thanks, Miss mei!
