ImberBoy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Northernsoul Time capsule A time capsule is a historic cache of goods and/or information, usually intended as a method of communication with people in the future. Time capsules are sometimes created and buried during celebrations such as a World Fair, cornerstone laying for a building or other event. They can also be unintended caches such as at Pompeii. The phrase "time capsule" has been in use since about 1937, but the idea is as old as the earliest human civilizations in Mesopotamia. You have ten items you can select to represent The Northern Soul Scene for future generations. The items are to be sealed inside a container and the buried for one thousand years. We expect the future humans to be able to read watch and listen to every thing enclosed and we want them to understand as much about the Northern Soul Scene as possible. You can select anything you want as long as it will fit inside the average size suit case you should include an explanation as well. I would go for; A circle skirt as worn by the girls Big baggy trousers, 40" flaresMy old Clarks Polyveldt shoesBrut aftershaveJohnson's baby talk for making the floor slipperyMy old sports bag for my change of clothsamphetamine sulphate naughty but has to be includedThe Snake by Al Wilson I hate the record but it seams to represent the scene, like it or not.How can I tell her by Curtis just so there is a bit of confusion with the SnakeA patch with a soul fist that says "keep the faith" cheesy I know but kinda works. I didn't get room for the records, you can use your suit case size space for this if you want. ......................... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Why do you assume the Northern Soul Scene will not carry on forever? Dont forget its a Religion to some folks. I would like to see a dedicated Museum though with the icons on show. Made to measure suits, red cherry shoes, and the Flasher/Interplay/The champion playing as background music.
