Undetermined: The Podcast

Jon and Matt continue their conversation with this fascinating individual. 

Dick Valentine is one of those guests who just embodies what UTP is all about. We never know where we are going, but we always have a great time getting there! From lyrics inspired at a Missouri truck stop, to Christopher Walken, to Whitesnake, to Micheal Bolton...you'll just have to listen. Already looking forward to next time. Thanks, Dick!

John Murry marches to the beat of his own drum (which is expertly provided by the incredible Johnny Boyle!) and we couldn't love him more for it. John's an amazing musician with a unique voice in every manner. He's also got some fascinating perspectives, and a great sense of humor. We could seriously talk to this guy for hours and can't wait to have him back on! Welcome to the family, John! (And t...

Scott and his band have been blowing minds in Lawrence, KS for years! (We're a little embarrassed that it took so long for us to have him on). The guy is fierce with a six-string and a mic! (Really, the whole band is amazing.)  Seriously...if you haven't checked out The Mad Kings, do yourself a huge favor and give 'em a listen.  We had a great time getting to know this truly interesting...

Coby is one fascinating dude who has lived one Hell of a life!  Thanks to (the also amazing) Seven Black for the recommendation! You were right, man. Coby's awesome! Stay tuned for Part 2!!

As impressive as carving out his place in the Australian music scene with the likes of Blindside, The Earthmen, and Cordrazine is, this is just the tip of the iceberg for Melbourne's Nick Batterham. With a slew of both solo and collaborative projects (the duo Bell Streets, work with acclaimed visual artist Rone, scoring films...etc.) to call him prolific feels like an understatement.  Nick's...

When our pal Conan Neutron recommends a guest, we know it's gonna be good! John Hastie is both hilarious and awesome! (His band Nonagon kicks ass as well!) Seriously...you should get to know them. Some great stories and fun conversation in this one, folks! Welcome to the family John!!

Punk rocker/international working man who marries an artist/roller derby queen/childhood friend of Jon's and moves to Munich where he starts a band of ex-pats and locals? We needed to know more! Turns out the dude and his band Little Teeth are legit. Looking forward to some Bavarian beverage sampling with the latest member of the Dandy McCandy Family, Jason S. Thompson. Thrilled to have you, man!

When our buddy Will Whitmore recommends a guest, we know it's gonna be good! To say Mike is "prolific" feels like an understatement. Whether he's playing drums for his band The Pork Tornadoes, keeping the beat with Will in one of his many projects, or podcasting on a variety of topics, he's always engaging and entertaining. He's also funny as hell! We can't wait to grab a drink with this guy! (We...

Got to chat it up with our old friend Rich and find out what he's been up to. (Turns out, he's kept busy!) Had a great time sharing stories, swaping smoker recipes, talking gear, and discovering new projects. (Can you NOT check out a project named the Boxed Winos?) You'll also want to catch the tour Rich and company have planned. (It just might include some other friends as well!) Always a pleasur...

One of the most common complaints we hear during these trying times is that there's just not enough apocalyptic folk music out there. (We couldn't agree more!) So we were absolutely thrilled to be joined by the awesome human that is Dick Johnson of Columbia, Missouri's English Brown. Turns out, he loves talking music and conspiracies as much as we do! Great intellect and a talented artist with som...

The guys at Forbidden Place Records just keep delivering! Had a great sit down with guitarist/vocalist Fuzz McGee and drummer/better half Chazzeah Bob of this amazing two-piece unit. As heavy as they are on noise, they are equally light of heart. (C'mon...who doesn't want to find out the meaning behind "dick stick" and "shit kit?") Given 'em some love Dandies!! Check them out: https://spectrumstat...

Hard name to pronounce...easy guy to know. And man does he rock! Guitarist for Detroit's very own Sponge....not to mention some incredible work from other projects Throttlebody and Solid Frog....running his own Studio....recording with Uncle Ted....and having one amazing charity! (Check out www.andysguitar.com.) We think you'll enjoy this one! Thanks Andy!

We love Ha Ha Tonka and had a great time getting to know guitar/mandolin player Brett Anderson. (He also rocks a mean Casio!) Brett's amazing with strings. Unfortunately, he's not so great with sports prognostication. (Neither are we.) We really appreciate Brett catching us up and are looking forward to hearing more from the gang at HHT!

Always a good time talking to Andy and Shawn! Get the latest from KC's very own Red Kate and find out what's going on with the ever growing and amazing line-up with Black Site. (Some great stuff happening!) So ready to "hang together" with these guys again!

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: https://williamelliottwhitmore.bandcamp.com/album/im-with-y...

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...

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!

What a talent! Multi-instrumentalist/singer David Geraghty of Juniper, Bell X1, Join Me in the Pines, and himself braves his first venture into the podcast world by joining Jon and Matt for an engaging and fascinating conversation on music, life and more. If you aren't familiar with him now's the time to change that! Great guy!
