Julian Assange brought wikileaks into the world, it looks like he'll be responsible for its downfall too. Tragic. http://bit.ly/dX5G0Z

Hear Five Seconds Of Every #1 Pop Single: 1956 to 1992
Hugo Keesing is an academic and a pop music archivist who created a project called Chartsweep in which 5 seconds of every charting #1 American pop song starting from the year 1956 to 1992 has been compiled into a short form historical mixtape of sorts. It starts off with 1956’s “Memories Are Made of This” by Dean Martin and ends with 1992′s Whitney Houston’s cover of “I Will Always Love You”. No word whether the project will continue on but it would be cool to listen to check out the #1′s of 1992-2011 and beyond as well.
The concept and term “Chartsweep” both originated in the late 60s with a syndicated radio show called “The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” I listened to it on WOR-FM in New York and recorded portions of it on an old Wollensack reel-to-reel tape recorder. As you know, the ‘sweep presented segments of every Billboard #1 single starting with “Memories Are Made of This” (Jan 1956). I don’t recall where it stopped, but it was around 1968/69. Six years later I began teaching an American Studies course at the University of Maryland called “Popular Music in American Society.” To provide a setting for each class I dusted off the concept, took it back to January 1950, added a number of songs based on Joel Whitburn’s re-definition of #1 songs, and continued where the original had stopped. I added each new #1 until fall, 1991 when I stopped teaching the course.

The problem with reality is that there's just too damned much of it to fit in everybody's head.
In 'Free Libya': Hey, Who, Exactly, Is in Charge Here?
It's easy to find the headquarters of the Libyan opposition in Benghazi, the country's second city and the hotbed of the uprising against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. Just head down to the Corniche, the city's Mediterranean waterfront, and follow the cheering crowds hanging Gaddafi in effigy to the city's district courthouse, where the revolution began on Feb. 17 as a protest by the city's lawyers and judges. But once inside the now battle-scarred and graffitied building, it's hard to figure out who, exactly, is in charge.
Scores of newly minted revolutionary officials — middle-aged volunteers from the city's professional and business classes — have many meetings but appear to make few decisions. They hold press conferences in what used to be a courtroom, while about a dozen opposition spokesmen roam the halls trying to be helpful but often offering conflicting information. Trucks full of eggs and baby formula arrive at the courthouse doors without an apparent system for delivering them to the needy and without clear reports of shortages. And though spirits are high, especially among the young volunteers sporting Che Guevara–style berets, the institutional vibe is more like that of a steering committee of a future liberal-arts college than of a guerrilla movement gearing up for a long fight. "The problem is that we don't have anyone with any political experience whatsoever," says Iman Bugahaighis, a professor of dentistry now acting as an unofficial spokesperson. "We didn't have any institutions other than regime. That was part of Gaddafi's plan: to make everyone loyal only to him."...
