We step back to 2004 on this Time Machine, a banner year for Canadian artists: k.d. lang issued her Hymns of the 49th Parallel; Arcade Fire released their excellent debut; and Tegan and Sara recorded their biggest tune to date. Meanwhile, Green Day released an album that was later developed into a successful musical. And we learned that U2's Bono perhaps couldn't count very well in Spanish.

It's all 2004, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday, supported by One Voice Mixed Chorus.
