80s Number 1 intros
I made this!
As requested in the newsletter here are the first 10 seconds of all 191 number 1 hits of the 1980s.
The full list is on Wikipedia
All done with scripts and no fancy editing so it sounds a bit rough in places.
Edit: Looks like it's all out of bandwidth and it won't let me change the url, so have a mirror.

EDIT-EDIT: 24:51 comes like the most long-awaited punchline of all time

That's what you get
when you use low quality mp3s as your source material and then re-compress the whole lot to standardise the format.
I could have done it better but I'm lazy and like using scripts it would have taken 10x the time!

Pedantry
Pink Floyd, "Another Brick in the Wall, pt.3" was number from for 5 weeks starting in mid December 1979, so, it was number one for 3 weeks in 1980.
Not that Wikipedia's ever wrong, but, I'm just sayin'...

Nope.

If it hasn't been posted here before, then it has no glassynessess to speak of or be told to others. It is glass free. Free from the taint of repetition. Free from the ire of the board. Free from THE SIN of being posted and seen just as before.
It simply did not exist to us.

There is also a video about an F-15 Eagle landing with one wing somewhere
but its spoiled by excessive use of electronic guitar music (excessive as in 1 second being too much) and the Eagle's pilot apparently being indifferent to the death of another pilot/loss of the other aircraft in a collision that might have been his (Eagle pilot) fault.
(this is a fake)
