I recorded a cover of Joy Division's "No Love Lost" because it's one of my favourite songs ever and I thought I'd post it here and not on some regulated 3rd party website that would take it down (sorry). Anyhow Ian Curtis gave me permission to do this in a dream and until the Superior Humans Who Rule tell me that that's not valid enough, it'll be up. I kind of arranged it my own way from memory and all the takes are one off's so, it may be a little different from the original (it might even be totally wrong- haha). Hope you enjoy!

My Acoustic Goes Electric, (just like me...)
Ya, I know this is going to look like a million other YouTube videos out there where people show off their gear and the mods they've done and all that kind of stuff but that's not what I'm going for here. All i'm saying is, if I can do this, anyone can! I cut some cable, screwed some holes, soldered some wires and made some connections. I filmed basic clips after each stage and ended up putting them together as they now exist in the video below. If you care to view it, here it is: a very short, basic video clip showing what I've done to my innocent little Ibanez acoustic guitar. (Pardon the terrible acting, I didn't realize I was actually being filmed by myself.) ;)
I have added a Tone pot and some knobs which make everything sound much better...

D.D.M. on Twitter, video content and upcoming shows
So, D.D.M. is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/thisisddm. I just started following people today and, for the most part, they're all bands or solo artists (like me). It's cool to know what's happening for artists I like and I think Twitter's the best for that. If you care to, you can follow D.D.M. on Twitter for updates to the website like new songs, blogs, videos or whatever gets added.
Which brings me to Videos. No videos are up yet because there are no videos ready to upload yet. There will be soon enough. I'll be trying out some home made movie making skills I haven't really learned yet and posting the vids as well as some live or recording footage up on the site and on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/thisisddmvideo.
Which now brings me to upcoming shows. I've played hundreds of shows in millions of bands but none yet as D.D.M.. I'm soooo itching to get playing though and will commence booking in roughly 2 minutes (or however long it takes me to finish writing here). So, check in to the Gigs calendar whenever you feel the urge to see what's upcoming and if you'd like to book D.D.M. click on the "Contact" link in the main menu above.
Thanks, talk to you soon! - DDM
