The Time Machine takes a short trip to 2008 this time. Myspace was still a force, accelerating the careers of Adele & Fleet Foxes. There were big debuts from MGMT & Vampire Weekend & Bon Iver. Coldplay hit #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. TV On The Radio's Dear Science was a critic's favorite & Barack Obama became the U.S.A’s first black president. It’s all 2008 our year on this installment of Time Machine Tuesday from the Current.
