Now you bring all that up, I realize that in fact the reason I can't remember the eighties is that I have been trying desperately ever since to forget them.

I tried, gawd knows I tried ... but even copious quantities of alcohol didn't erase the horror.

Were these songs you linked Good or hideous?
Except for Toni Basil, I really liked all of the rest.
My band did a lot of musixc from the 80's, as well as the 60's, 70's, and 90's. It is a question pf picking and choosing well.

The doubletalk in this video is epic. Buzzwords and jargon beyond belief. I think it's really funny.
Technical Jargon Overload - YouTube[^]
"The fictional Retro Encabulator device, which uses six hydrocoptic marzel vanes and an ambifacient lunar wane shaft to prevent unwanted side fumbling. "
"inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors."

I hope the inducer is regulated by a trilateral hanging bivalve or the thermoplated phase shifters will be destroyed inside a year.

So,
I'm slurping data from all over the internet for my NLP research project.
Australian National Corpus[^] (extremely slow)
American National Corpus[^] (expired certificate)
Looks like the British National Corpus[^] doesn't have any problems. For some reason the Brits slapped a copyright and want to charge a licence fee[^] to use their tiny little corpus. 
Google Books n-grams[^] has been taken down.
I believe a very small group of people are maintaining these datasets. The english-corpora.org[^] website has some strange features. The domain name is registered in the name of Google:
[Whois Record for english-corpora.org]
Google LLC
IANA ID: 895
URL: https://domains.google.com
Whois Server: whois.google.com
1,456 days old
But according to IANA 209.90.108.232/29 [^] the IP subnet belongs to Mark Davies[^]. (After poking around a bit I found he is running the site on Windows Server 2016) So it looks like this guy is paying for hosting all that data out of his own pocket. I am very grateful that people like Mark are maintaining these datasets.
I need a bigger super computer.

It seriously does. I get an attaboy every other year or so at work. It's unreal how much that does for my state of mind.
