7.8.08 - Five Alive

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 02:28:29 -0400

Nuclear O' Reilly releases a brand new song today, "Reading Five." This funk rhythm of odd-timing and melody changes demonstrates the unorthodox and abstract side of this production duo. Listen to it here! And when you're done, check out the latest bathroom review from The Container Store.

7.1.08 - Cool off in the Pool

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 11:03:28 -0400

6.24.08 - Plenty Happening Now!

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 11:03:08 -0400

Time flies when you miss a posting! If you haven't already, be sure to check out last week's POTG Radio episode, where we talk to horrible products of DNA crossings (and Birdbest). This week's shirt features a character from a painting done live at our House Party Liberation Front. Thanks to all who attended last Friday! And in bathroom news, we take a gander at Bloomingdales' Soho.

6.10.08 - Nothing's Happening

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:23:23 -0400

Not so true, but it sounds good. Jared DiDomenico’s new song "Nothing’s Happening" is released and available for download. As for what’s happening, check the events page for the next House Party Liberation Front, June 20th. In bathroom news, we check out Crate and Barrel.

6.03.08 - Get your father an upside-down blender

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 22:13:27 -0400

Apparently, Gonzo has heard of these and makes reference to one on the latest POTG Radio episode. You may even be able to find one at Whole Foods, whose Houston St. branch was recently reviewed by our bathroom staff.

5.27.08 - Luigi gets more than 1up

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:41:03 -0400

Seems we can't get enough of the Mario Brothers this month. After a back to back appearance on POTG Radio, Luigi gets his own shirt claiming he gets more "princess" than Mario, as if they don't have enough to fight about these days. And just in time for the new Indiana Jones movie, if you're afraid of snakes, you might want to stay out of this Old Navy bathroom.

5.20.08 - Being a Second Player is Hard Work

Mon, 19 May 2008 22:59:51 -0400

Luigi is back with a brand new set of problems as POTG Radio delves deeper into the dark underbelly of the Mario Bros. Our bathroom experts take a trip up to the Citicorp Center to review the resident Barnes & Noble.

5.13.08 - One Word

Mon, 19 May 2008 22:59:33 -0400

Electric! A little humor. But seriously, this month’s song is “One Word” by Naprixas, guaranteed to make you question yourself. Nebulous enough for you? Probably not as nebulous as this synth/pop/rock mixture presents itself. Continuing on the trend of bathroom eyesores from last week, we take a look at Taco Bell’s neighbor, Wendy’s on 14th street.

5.06.08 - Star Power

Tue, 6 May 2008 13:53:49 -0400

The Mario Bros. must have thought they were invincible when they were young, as POTG Radio reveals the truth behind their degenerate past. The show makes reference to some very controversial images found on the web. And get ready for the worst bathroom we've seen yet!

4.29.08 - Video Yes

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:15:50 -0400

We here at POTG do a very special thing sometimes called a "yes." There's really no way to describe them, you have to see for yourself. Luckily, you can do so by checking out our new video link on top to our YouTube profile! Check this place out for all things POTG in video, including bathroom vidcasts and Video Yes's. In Bathroom news, we take a look at Virgin Megastore in Union Square.

4.22.08 - Passing "Go" Once Again

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:12:37 -0400

Planet of the Grapes is back on track with a new shirt, "Every Day I Fail to Impregnate a Woman is a Lifetime of Relief!" This play on the famous Monopoly card will come in handy one day, we're sure. In bathroom news, we bake Au Bon Pain on Union Square and present April's vidcast. Don't forget to check out last week's POTG Radio episode, "The Racist Episode."

4.01.08 - Our lawyer can beat up your lawyer

Tue, 1 Apr 2008 23:23:35 -0400

POTG Radio doesn't condone getting a lawyer to get you on the air. Listen to the latest episode, A Bad Bunch of Fatherfigures, to find out who tried it. In bathroom news, we take on the Upper East Side's Museum Row once again with the Jewish Museum, and San Francisco gives you a quick rundown of the Phoenix Bar & Irish Gathering House.

3.25.08 - Go Retro

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:12:22 -0400

By "Go retro," we mean repeat everything you did two years ago. For us, it includes passing a kidney stone. This month's shirt release is "The 80s are So 2006", sure to take you back to your "wild year." Don't forget to check out this month's Bathroom Vidcast.

3.18.08 - Beauty is only asphalt-deep

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:22:32 -0400

POTG Radio closes its run of the Miss POTG Radio pageant with its three finalists: BQEsha, Louis Louise, and Tiffany Amber Thiessen.

3.11.08 - Get Closer

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:07:12 -0400

Our next music release comes from our second debut rock artist, Jared DiDomenico, with the song “Closer.” Jared’s classic & modern rock influences bring a whole new wave of rock that will get your blood running! Check it out in the music section! In Bathroom news, we spend this week down in the basement of Bloomingdale’s and across the country in San Fran’s Plouf Restaurant.

3.04.08 - Don’t Go There! (Actually, do)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:06:37 -0400

Like, we check out all the trendiest places, like Bloomingdale’s: you know, the hottest in bathroo0m fashion. This week, we totally reviewed the 7th floor bathroom of Bloomy’s AND Spa Radiance in San Francisco. On a related note the Miss POTG Radio pageant closes at 3rd leg. See who goes on to the finals. Well, you can’t see, so listen. OMG, totally forgot! Planet of the Grapes now has an Events Page for all the things we do! Check it out!

2.26.08 - Bold Statements

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:06:17 -0400

Our shirt releases for this month are the perfect gift for the thinking man’s thinking man. This week we are presenting “Property of Nothing” and a collaboration with David Barowski: “Proud to be Human.” In bathroom news, we wrap up the month of February with Ray Bono Pizza and the month in videocast.

2.19.08 - Put Your Whole Body Into It

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:05:57 -0400

POTG Radio pulls from in 2007 vaults the lost episode of Slim GoodBody’s Grape Love. It’s loving for your entire body. In Bathroom News we present this week Barnes and Noble Union Square.

2.12.08 - Bombs Away!

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:08:41 -0500

Ladies and gentlemen, it is our pleasure to drop onto you a song of devastating proportions from one of our two new rock arms, Naprixas. One half of Nuclear O’Reilly, Naprixas combines the enigmatic with the raw with his debut single, "Bombs Away!" This song dawns a new era on the Nuclear O’ Reilly production duo and Planet of the Grapes, and we invite you to join us and listen now! Also in this week’s bathrooms, we have NYC’s Circuit City Union Square San Fran’s Lone Palm.

2.05.08 - The Grudge Match

Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:38:23 -0500

1.29.08 - Birdman Walks Among Us

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:24:18 -0500

This month’s special includes a new DiDomenican Stun List, "STUNning With the Devil," followed by a wonderful review with tea and biscuits at the local library’s seminar cave, and a new shirt featuring Birdman in all his glory. Warning: wearing this shirt may cause the frisky-feathered fiend to rip it off your chest in a fit of hormones. Also, we cap off our Metropolitan Museum of Art tour in the Modern Gallery.

1.22.08 - Tell the Truth...

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:02:58 -0500

All of you rockin' your Che Guevara shirts and Ramones shirts ONLY cause it's the latest trend. Stop being a slave to fashion and send a message that will wake up everyone's brains, with our new shirts countering the two aforementioned icons. Also this week, we cover part four of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bathrooms, and from San Francisco we have Club Six. Also check out our Met Bathroom Vidcast on iTunes!

1.15.08 - There she is...

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:04:06 -0500

Miss POTG Radio! We're holding our own beauty pageant, and the claws are out. See how our first round of contestants fare against each other and against our brutal questions. Also, this week we present part 3 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bathroom Tour.

1.08.08 - Greek Decadence & Destiny

Mon, 7 Jan 2008 22:46:50 -0500

Nuclear O'Reilly rings in the new year with a brand new song "Stumbling Towards Olympus," filled with Ancient Greek name-dropping to make themselves look cultured. To accompany the theme, we present part two of the Metropolitan Museum of Art bathroom tour at the Wrightsman Gallery bathroom, guarded by a statue of a torchmaiden. On the other side of the sandbox, our San Francisco correspondant takes you to Golden Boy Pizza.

1.3.08 - Yanni and Egypt

Mon, 7 Jan 2008 22:46:46 -0500

Some may think it better to say "Greece and Egypt", but we do things differently here at Planet of the Grapes. Our first clip of the year comes from an old favorite, a classic episode with Yanni as the guest of honor in a game we like to call "Grape Love." Listen to the episode to see how it works. In bathroom news, we take a trip to the Nile, or as close as we can get: The Egyptian Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

12.25.07 - Santa Doesn't Need Pants

Tue, 25 Dec 2007 00:48:41 -0500

You do. But we’re not selling pants. We ARE selling a shirt that says “pants”. That might work in some third world countries/New Year’s Eve Parties. We also have two shirts that tell time (that you can’t live without it). And since you’ve been so nice this year, we have a Christmas special bathroom review: POTG Headquarters, Pharaoh’s Landing.

12.18.07 - Your Medicare Dollars at Work

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:02:54 -0500

POTG Radio recommends listening to the latest episode for all your ailments. We have several accomplished doctors on the show with their medical expertise at your disposal. Of course, we're not specifying WHAT they've accomplished. That could take a while. And if your out holiday shopping in New York, here's our take on the bathroom on Macy's 7th Floor.

12.11.07 - I Heard Everything You Said

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 23:47:26 -0500

This is God speaking. I heard everything you said. That's right. Ok, a village in one of the Pacific islands considers me a God, that and two dollars gets you on the train. But Nuclear O'Reilly did release a new song entitled "I Heard Everything You Said," chock full of religious subtext just in time for the holidays. If that hasn't put you in the holiday mood, be sure to check out the bathroom at Macy's basement floor.

12.04.07 - If Looks Could Kill (Mozart)...

Fri, 7 Dec 2007 20:23:04 -0500

Sometimes I look in the mirror to remind myself that I'm ugly. Or everyone else is. I forget how that works. The guests on this week's POTG Radio episode are going through personal changes. Somehow, most of their lives revolve around death. Does anyone read this anymore? I miss Magellan. He doesn't return my calls. In other news , this week's bathroom review is McDonald's 34th Street and 7th Avenue. It reminds us of Grimace's pouch. Hawt.

11.27.07 - Did somebody say 'Viagra'?

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:41:07 -0500

That should divert some of those searchers and spammers. We're not above cheap tactics. But we're covered: we used 'viagra' as a metaphor in one of our new shirts, along with an 8-bit wearable memoir. Cheap marketing ploys aside, you the viewer have the pleasure of peeking at our latest review of the Borders bathroom and the November Bathroom Vidcast.

11.20.07 - Follow the White Brick Road

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:08:18 -0500

Is cocaine still the official drug of drug jokes? Ours is peyote, but we decided to go with something more mainstream for this latest POTG Radio episode. Bathroom news takes us to the Manhattan Mall, just in time for Black Friday. Fitting, since the toilets here are black with fungus. Try not to sit down on anything. And check out our San Francisco section for a new west coast review of Suppenküche.

11.13.07 - A Day Without Syrup is a Lifetime without Love

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:24:23 -0400

A wise man once told me I’m losing it. I think he was talking about the new Nuclear O’Reilly song “A Day Without Syrup.” Listen for yourself and be the judge. The Planet of the Grapes Bathroom Review takes on Richard Branson’s Virgin empire. Check out our review of the bathroom of Virgin Megastore at Times Square.

11.06.07 - POTG Radio endorses Immortality

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:24:23 -0400

But only when it gets us ratings. Otherwise, we’re obviously appalled (even if it is REALLY cool). On POTG Radio, Teriyaki Boy, not-so-beloved mascot and owner of his self-titled japanese fast food chain, seems to have taken Arnold and Webster’s lead.

10.30.07 - I'm dressed as a 1985 Buick in need of an oil change.

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:24:23 -0400

If you're in New York City, be sure to find us in the Village Halloween Parade tomorrow night, whether you're watching or marching.

This fifth Tuesday, POTG Radio pulls out a classic episode from "The Vault". Did we mention our vault has an ice and water dispenser and a vegetable crisper? POTG Radio has an in-depth exclusive interview with a lifelong friend and ally of the show, then we open the phonelines and invite pandemonium. Additionally, a new Stun List has been added to the DiDominican library. Read, it's good for your brain!

10.24.07 - Gender Issues?

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:55:49 -0400

Cure them (temporarily) with these informative "XX Girl" and "XY Boy" shirts! It's like wearing your genitals on your chest like a name tag! (We wouldn't recommend that without a doctor present) Also, take a look at our special before-and-after bathroom review!

10.15.07 - Break Out Your Hidden Tape Recorders

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 22:56:34 -0400

This week, POTG Radio rocks out with the lead singer from GWAR and rivals. Pablo Picasso and Mozart confront their name-stealer, wrestler Pablo Mozart, and challenge him to a wrestling match. Starman calls to even the odds. Also, Gimnael drops by the studio to enlighten us on "safe sex." In Bathroom news, POTG gives a glimpse into a review of the private washing quarters of our very own Brad Naprixas, though he sternly warns, "Don't steal my things, I know where we live." (Cue deep thought)

10.09.07 - You think you know Planet of the Grapes?

Mon, 8 Oct 2007 23:51:36 -0400

WE don't even know Planet of the Grapes. They're keeping us in the dark. All we know is that Nuclear O'Reilly releases a new single this week, "You Think You Know Me." It doesn't explain anything, so don't get your hopes up. Also, Happy Birthday to POTG Radio superfan Paige!

10.02.07 - Planet of the Grapes marches this Halloween!

Tue, 2 Oct 2007 00:30:18 -0400

Planet of the Grapes will be walking in the Village Halloween Parade in New York City. So come join us on the 31st dessed as your favorite POTG character! Join us dressed as anything! Join us dressed in your parent of the opposite sex's clothing! Then see a doctor. Oh yeah, the site. This week, POTG Radio callers this week have an unhealthy relationship with their pending deaths. We don't seek to cure their problems, just cash in on it.

9.25.07 - Take a ride on the A Train

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:23:21 -0400

Planet of the grapes this week presents a new bathroom vidcast with its fourth review of the month, the Times Square Subway Junction. Also, our new shirts will test your IQ or proclaim your worth (how little or big it may be) to the world.

9.18.07 - POTG Radio will put you in the mood

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 23:50:28 -0400

POTG Radio has done the obligatory love episode. Now that we got that out of our system, we can get back to what really matters: Gorilla Gross's finishing move. By the way, we've another Starbucks bathroom for you to gawk and gander.

9.11.07 - Still Awake?

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 23:59:46 -0400

Then you'll need to download "3 AM", Nuclear O'Reilly's musical remedy for insomnia and music industry phoniness. We usually pair up random diseases - we find they're easier to cure in pairs, like necrophilia and genophobia. Just look it up, you have Wikipedia. Also, be sure to check out the latest bathroom review of New York's landmark train station, Grand Central Terminal.

9.04.07 - Every Vote Counts!

Tue, 4 Sep 2007 00:54:35 -0400

Especially when you need 100% of the vote in one day. That's the crisis that faces the two candidates of Sweden and Norway, according to what they've announced on the newest episode of POTG Radio. Be sure to register, if you're Swedish or Norwegian, and vote! If they don't get 50% of the population to vote... well, nothing happens. You've been warned (about nothing).

8.28.07 - New video podcast takes POTG to Saks Fifth Avenue

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:11:29 -0400

Saks didn't give us free clothes or swag, but we reviewed them all the same. Not that we would accept designer bribes. On the flip side, we present two new shirts. Be sure to wear them, I mean be sure to check them out (buy our products).

8.21.07 - Straight from the Moon

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 20:56:07 -0400

Alice sends her regards. This week, Planet of the Grapes Radio speaks to the moon itself. We say "it" very carefully as our full episode also deals with sexually ambiguous characters, such as whales, transvestites and transsexuals on a tight schedule. Guaranteed to leave you with more questions than answers.

8.14.07 - 50 new ways to please your lover

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 23:40:29 -0400

Also, Beck shares his connection with Plum Plumer and his cave fetish, and the Anti-Horse fans the flames of his hate-hate relationship with Slim Goodbody's Refridgerator.
