It's all songs considered, and we're celebrating our 25th anniversary.

This is where you...

I've really thought I'd get a big round of applause or something from you there, Stephen.

Was I supposed to... I didn't realize.

You need to tell me when I'm supposed to stand and cheer.

Yeah, hold a sign that says, applause.

Please enjoy the show now.

Stephen Thompson here, hosted New Music friday you may know him from

pop culture happy hour welcome hello robin so here's what we're doing uh all this spring and summer

we closed out our regular tuesday episodes by talking about our number one songs from the past

25 years we did a different year at the end of each episode. We talked about every year from 2000 to

2024. That's 25 years. If you can do the math there, Stephen. Now we're expanding those

segments a bit. We're offering them as standalone episodes a little easier for people to hear and we can

talk about and play a bit more stuff. We're up to 2005 now. We just had the

first five years. Now we're doing 2005. What do you want to start with? Well, I'm going to

kick us off with a song that has gotten me through a lot of different years and lost nothing

in the process. Well, it's the mountain goats?

Very good.

I can't believe this is 20 years old.

I know, right?

I broke free on a Saturday morning, I put the pedal to the floor.

Headed north on Mills Avenue and listen to the engine roar
