Check out more of his work at RayPettibon.com, read The Believer’s 2004 interview with him, which includes him convincing the interviewer that he raises dogs for fighting, and also read these more recent profiles from Interview Magazine and Vice, the latter of which includes pictures of Pettibon in his studio and another outrageous story, this time involving a swastika prison tattoo during time served in Pelican Bay for copyright violation.
Her and fellow organizers, artists Yuri Ogita and Meagan Chin, join Brodie to discuss early Los Angeles punk, DIY and zine culture, street art, the constant struggle between underground integrity and commercialization to expand audiences…

I fell asleep before this was done uploading but OKAY PATRICK HERE YOU ARE
THIS BUD’S FOR YOU
“There’s some maps. PFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!”
Greg Fitzsimmons: THIS PAGE IS BEING DISCONTINUED. FOR UPDATES PLEASE GO TO THE GREG FITZSIMMONS FAN PAGE… MEET YOU THERE. DON’T TELL HOLLYWOOD
Entitled Fan #1: No. That was rude. I’ll explain because the wrong people seem to be advising you. Anyone who friends you here now is automatically subscribed to your updates. There are no better benefits with a fan page. Plus, you lose everything you’ve ever uploaded here, including all your photos and status updates. Most importantly, the people who friended you first — who thought that you were a regular guy for using a personal FB page like everyone else — will now resent you for taking away the goodwill that it built. I know I will.
Entitled Fan #2: Douche move…
BFH: Right! Because Greg is a comedian that you enjoy, therefore he owes you access to a personal Facebook page. Grow up.
Looking at Brodie Hubbard there, obviously the first thought that comes to mind is, “I’d like to know the history of that beard.” Luckily, at my urging, Brodie has told it. Now let’s move on to other things.
Brodie’s a vegan, so he suggested we meet at animal-byproductless hotspot Flore in Silver Lake.
Seth is a writer who buys people lunch in exchange for an interview. Read more about his dining experience with me at the link.
On my end, I can say that this was a delightful time. It was nice to chat with a fellow writer, someone with whom I have a lot in common. We’re two guys married to wonderful women, and we both moved here from other places to pursue our careers. As Seth touches on in his article, this town and its populace are known for certain contemptible characteristics. Fortunately for me, my encounters with other folks on this journey to stay creative and survive in Los Angeles, the best and most difficult place you can try to make our kind of living in, have been largely positive.
Seth is my kind of people. He’s had particular struggles that he bravely discusses on his site. You should read more from Seth there at sethmad.com, and follow him on Twitter at @sethmad.
I have talked about the Frazzini Brothers and their work on the podcast before. Today, at brodiehubbard.com, I wrote about my favorite epic shot on VHS.
The show is not on hiatus. And I swear I am not dying. But for the second week in a row, I had to cancel a recording due to illness.
I don’t want to wear myself out or get the guests sick, so when I heal up, I’ll meet up with one of the postponed bookings, we’ll crank this baby out, and we’ll get you fine people another episode of the podcast!
The place on the web for the Shakeytown Radio Hour - an eclectic discussion of music, comedy, popular culture and assorted claptrap. Hosted by Gene George and Brodie Foster Hubbard.
