Undetermined: The Podcast

Our old friend Chris stops back by to fill us in on his musical adventures in the pandemic, thoughts on the state of the world and our country...and other fascinating stuff. Always a good time with Chris! 

Will Whitmore is one of our all time faves at UTP. It was a pleasure to catch up and find out about his most recent endeavors such as his new album I'm With You, his project Dope Walker, becoming a parent and more! Lots of laughs and interesting discussion in this one.  (Already looking forward to next time!)

Check out his new stuff:

We love the new Dungeon Weed project featuring our old friend drummer Chris McGrew and new friend multi-instrumentalist Dmitri Mavra. Unfortunately, technical issues kept Chris from getting to join us, but we had a blast exploring the brain of a truly fascinating guy in Dmitri.  (We think you'll find him fascinating too!)

2020  has been the shiitiest year we have endured in quite some time. That  doesn't mean that Undetermined the Podcast can't have a good time on a  holiday episode, pestering cats from Nerd Table, Young People's  Deathkamp, and Duhl Face Records to make a noizy Christmas. I hope you  all enjoyed Christmas at the Nerd Table, as much as we did. Cheers,  Dandies!

 Happy Friday, Dandies!!! 

     While the Matt's away, Jon will play. Although Matt Langston was moving to his new home the week of this episode's recording, Jon took the opportunity and had the privilege of sitting down and picking the brain of the incomparable Jesse Gillenwalters (AKA Basic Printer.) Basic Printer is the embodiment of endorphin releasing, feel good music out of Nashville TN. It incorporates funk, pop, rock, "synth-y stuff." and all around good music. It slaps, and without a doubt makes you want to shake it. Basic Printer is also one of the most sincere and refreshing new sounds that I have heard on a record in quite some time. We discussed Jesse's musical philosophies, evolution and development, his process, sleep, dreams and much that influences him may surprise you. It's a wonderful episode and we had a great time! Check out his music, accompanied by other amazing artists (including D.C.'s own, Del Florida) at https://www.basicprinter.com/ . As a matter of fact, don't just peek through the blinds... BUY IT! you will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy the show Dandies, and as always, thank you for the love and listens.

WATA good time was had getting to know Nathan Calhoun of We Are The Asteroid (spelled correctly!) and Butthole Surfers fame.  We talk everything from the state of the world to the Mexican Shroud of Turin.  He's a really fun and interesting guy.  So glad we got to know him a bit!

Jon and Matt get political with the incredible Betty X!

Jon and Matt take a trip down memory lane with front man Scott Randall of the St. Louis area's Fragile Porcelain Mice. (Some audio glitches put this on hiatus, but we never forgot!) So glad we could finally present this one!

Happy Halloween Dandies! Jon and Matt hang out with Matt's old friend Aaron who has some amazing stories about growing up behind the scenes in some cult classics, near death experiences, and nude opera! (And there's more!) Not to be missed...so don't!
