Top 10 Favorite He-Man Characters

When I was a kid, I loved He-Man. The cartoon, the action figures, and the phrase "By the power of Grayskull" were all a big part of my day. Here are my Top 10 favorite He-Man characters. 

Now I'm not counting the main characters here, like He-Man, Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, or the lovely, lovely Teela... ahem, so um, just the secondary-type characters and such. Here we go:


1. Moss Man


• His action figure was sticky and it smelled like shit. When you're a kid, that's a good thing.

2. Mer-Man


• If you didn't like Mer-Man when we were growing up, we probably didn't hang out much.

3. Two-Bad


• The action figure was completely indestructible. Two-Bad is a bad-ass.

4. Stinkor


• His special power was smelling so bad it could actually maim someone. I'm all in.

5. Man-E-Faces



• One of the coolest characters ever; He could be a human, a robot, or a demon. "His strongest persona, Man-E-Monster, is also his weakest, because as a monster he can be controlled by Beast Man." Heavy...

8. Spikor


• His skin is covered in spikes and he has a trident for a left arm. 'Nuff said.

9. Kobra Khan


• He has an awesome name and he looks cool. He's in.

10. Beast-Man


• I chose Beast-Man solely so he wouldn't break every bone in my body. The guy has a huge red mane, I don't want to mess with him.

Honorable Mention ...

Fisto


• This guy almost made the list based on his awesome name alone. Well, that, and the fact that his right hand is actually a giant metal fist.

Tri-Clops


• Has three eyes and can see in all directions. Paranoid much?

Top 10 Baseball Card Designs of the 1980's

The 1980s represented a high point for the baseball card industry, both in terms of mainstream popularity and in terms of card design. Many of the most popular and recognizable card designs of all-time were produced during this decade. Below are my Top 10 baseball card designs of the '80s, based on overall attractiveness, creativity and/or innovation, and my own personal preferences. Card backs are not weighed as much in these rankings, but I like to read the backs of baseball cards, so bonus points are given to good design there as well.  So without further ado... 10. 1989 Donruss  The '89 Donruss set is easily distinguishable for the multi-colored borders at the top and bottom of the cards. This gradient effect (which Donruss debuted in 1988) would be emulated many times by many companies in the decades that followed. I also like the way Donruss utilized the space on the back of the cards. A maximum of five seasons worth of stats are displayed along w...

Green Day Rock Out With New Track, "Father Of All..."

Green Day - "Father Of All..." Green Day has an amazing knack for writing songs that both, a) sound like nothing they've done before, and b) sound like classic Green Day the moment you hear it. And they've done it again with their latest single, "Father Of All...", the title track from their upcoming album due out February 7, 2020. The new track takes the slightly-controlled chaos of the Foxboro Hot Tubs and smashes it up with a rip-roaring chorus, where the guitars double as buzz saws that not-so-much slice but carve the melody into your head, where it will stay; This is a tune you'll be humming for days. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone that he "wanted to do something different," but if the song "Father Of All..." is any indication, there's one thing about Green Day's new album that is definitely not going to change: it's going to rock. by Nate Spade   Follow @nate_spade

Music Video Du Jour ... Blue Oyster Cult - Take Me Away

Blue Oyster Cult - Take Me Away RANDOM THOUGHTS ... Great song. In fact, I think I like this one more than any of their other, more well-known singles like "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' For You". The guitar riff (0:11) is amazing. The chorus is great. A lot of really cool guitar stuff going on here.  ...  The song was released in 1983, as the first track on BOC's ninth studio album,  The Revolution By Night . The album may not have been a massive success, but this song is a keeper.  ... This tune was written by Aldo Nova and Eric Bloom, who sings lead vocals on it. Aldo Nova also plays guitar and synthesizers on this one, and the mere fact that he's involved here makes me like the song even more.
