Watch MTV from back when it was new and big-haired

Film, TV & Radio Goodness, Video

How’s this for a mash-up of past and present? Some soul has uploaded three whole hours of gen-u-ine MTV from 1983 for your enjoyment / amusement / boredom onto Google Video. This is from the days when MTV had actual presenters (or “VJs”), and showed actual music videos rather than The Hills 24/7. Kansas! Huey Lewis! Awkward links! Lousy commercials! It’s all right here.
Anyway, if you have an hour and a half to spare - and who doesn’t? - check out the first half below. You can see the second half here, if the novelty hasn’t worn off after ninety minutes.
