Another week has flown by and spring is on its way, which means some great retro-possible holidays – St Patrick’s Day and Easter. I cannot wait. Just a reminder that this is the last week to enter the Sputnik Mania DVD Giveaway Contest. So get those entries in soon.

• Cocoa Krispies – King of the Spokes-Character? – Cocoa Krispies has had many spokes-characters over the years. I am not sure, but it may be have one of the highest mascot count changes in cereal history, with a total of 9 changes.
• “Weird Al” Yankovic’s First National Television Appearance – On April 21, 1981 Alfred Matthew Yankovic’s made his first national television performance on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder.
• What is an Atari Democrat?? – I was reading an older article about technology and i saw the term “Atari Democrat”. From the context I kind of deduced it was someone who is pro-technology, but I had never heard it before.
• Rock out to Guns-N-Roses with D-Pad Hero – You like Guitar Hero, but want to play it old skool? Then may I suggest a little D-Pad Hero for the NES?
• DEVO Performs Live on ABC’s Fridays in 1981 – DEVO rocked the ABC sketch show Fridays multiple time, today we look at their 1981 appearance where they performed not one, not two, but five songs!

Thanks for another great week of retro awesomeness. If you have a Retro or Nostalgia themed site or product and would like it reviewed, please contant theretroist[at]gmail.com.
