This week was the second week that I bought nestle drumsticks when I went to the grocery store. Buying them was part of a realization that I can buy food that used to be only for special occasions when I was younger. I’ve bought other things in that same general category of things before, but drumsticks are the first ice cream version. I think the next step is to get Flintstones Push Ups, if I can find them.
Anyway, here is this week’s top 30 played artists/albums. Some are the same, some are different and that’s why you’re looking at them.

This week’s video is a combination. Something I started doing a while ago is watching music videos with different music. Sabotage by the Beastie Boys works really well with the Hawaii 5-0 theme, but the combo for this week is a result of watching that kid do a cover of DC Talk’s “Nu Thang.” It made me watch other DC Talk videos, and then listen to DC Talk over things where it didn’t fit. So to experience this week’s video, watch Wu-Tang’s “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing to F’ With” muted
while DC Talk’s “I Love Rap Music” plays
The reverse is alright, with Wu-Tang playing and DC Talk as the visual, but it’s not as good.
