[CrackMonkey] Sounds of the 20th century

[Brian Hicks]

Among the objects placed into a 1,000-year time capsule by the New York
Times includes a nickel record engraved with the sounds of the 20th
century.  In 1,000 years, when it it unearthed, the people will marvel at
the complete lack of music on the disk.  Due to copyright issues, the New
York Times got permission to use only one song on it's laundry list:
YMCA.  Now I know copyrights last a long time nowadays, but 1,000 years 
seems a little ridiculous.

Oh, and here's the link:
