The Time Machine makes a quick trip to 2007 this time: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss collaborated on the Raising Sand album. Radiohead used a pay-what-you-want business model on their In Rainbows effort. The White Stripes made what would be their final studio album. Bon Iver released his debut, which was recorded in the North Woods of Wisconsin, and Mavis Staples revisited some of the Civil Rights anthems. In sports, the New England Patriots had a perfect regular season but lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
