Every morning at 8am, Truta and Nycki presents JACK's Eight TracksEight songs on a theme or from a year, artist, etc.  Remember, we're Playing What We Want - so we'll pick what we do and how we do it!

We do invite you to submit your own idea starters for a future Eight Tracks list, or to challenge the Crack Research Team.  Just FYI though... the Team is a bunch of simpletons who merely work for food.  So while you may think challenging them to find eight songs about paper clips might be funny, we think that's just downright mean!

Submit your ideas by CLICKING HERE.
