ILM Time Capsule: Suggestions for Content...

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
We live in a throw away society, so to aid future generations, I propose the ILM time capsule! The criteria:

Select 3 good records, 1 terrible record, any related piece of pop related memorbilia (can be a current pop star), and optional a message to the future...and oh anything else you like! We'll chuck it all in, give the boffins something to ponder!:)

The capsule will be equipped with a CD player, record player, a tape player, a computer and an emergency power generator. So, no need to worry about that. The future is in your hands...

Three blank CDRs, one broken CDR, the dessicated corpse of Carson Daly, and these simple words:

"Don't venerate this, there are better things to do."

If we go with CDs, one of the CD cases should — on inspection — prove to be empty, and the missing CD nowhere to be found in the capsule (not even in the player or disc-feed). Preferably the one that's empty shd our Archeologist-of-the-Future left till last to open, as s/he liked the look of it best. This will tell him/her much about modern life, if only s/he can work out what...

One dead bloke, one missing CD and a bunch of blanks. Not looking too good so far...oh well, honestly it seemed like a good idea! :)

Take 1 MC5 Kick Out the Jams, add a dash of the Pixies' Monkey's Gone To Heaven, Stir with a liberal smattering of the Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music and fuck it all up by tossing in Whitney Houston's awful cover of I will always Love U. Finally toss with Britney Spear's Training Bra and the Lester Bangs article on how to be a music critic. A recipe for the future if I've ever heard one.

six months pass...
Let's see if this thread will fly six months on.

I nominate the following 4 CDs, which should be placed in the capsule without their cases/covers/booklets:
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Daft Punk - the 1997 live thing
Bob The Builder - Mambo No.5
Fennesz - "Plays"

I make no good/terrible distinctions here, as I've not heard any of these CDs. They just seem to me to be 'of the moment', soon to be forgotten.

Memorabilia - Britney's plastic cowboy hat mentioned in the Vegas thread.
Words on music - a copy of the Jay-Z/Nas thread.
