We're all about humming those great numbers that could be hits today for Shack Jam 33 (Mon May 19, 2025) This is a retool from a previous bonus show with the same title. I dropped a few tracks, added a couple new ones and moved a couple around to give you a different experience.

Speaking of different experiences, we have a new experienced writer as part of our team at CREW'S VIEWS! Please welcome Emily Cooper aka "TWISTED ECHOES" to our lovely qualified team! Check out her NUMBER #1 review of UK based band EXPLORERS! You can find it directly on the CREWS VIEWS page at
Halshack.com/shacklists

Numbers rule our lives in so many detailed ways. Whether it be time on the clock or watching calories or counting steps to making deadlines on the calendar. The numbers keep coming no matter what life has in store for us. Sometimes we have to just stop counting and LIVE!

Have fun counting and singing along to our show full of "hit" numbers!

Find these great numbers and more at Halshack.com

Thanks for helping our numbers grow!

Today we've got All or Never pt 2 for POP STOP 27 (continuation from Shack Jam 32- All or Never pt. 1) Sorry for the delay on this release. Sometimes we are just All In on what we need to do or we Never get it done! There's not much in between with most people. I've been completely submerged into life and the show lately. You can definitely say I'm All IN!

You can find everything show related at Halshack.com

Thanks for being ALL IN for our show! Once you find us you will NEVER want to leave! 

Back again for another win! Its the Shackjam #32 on KERB and Halshack Radio! We're All about you the fan so we want you to feel grand! We are "Never" gonna give you a less than stellar show! Have fun with All or Never titles! 

You know how how it feels to be "All In" on something or the thought "Never" crosses your mind. Well the thought crossed my mind that I would go All in on creating you a show about words all and never for this week's shows for KERB and MXTR-FM! My library is full of words of wisdom and songs with lyrical tales that will have you wondering why the radio and labels are not all about these bands and why they never bother to look for "new" quality sounds from the past to discover the future of the industry. It's a shame that too many small bands have never been lifted out of the trenches that have given their hearts and souls to their craft, you could say they went ALL IN!
