By popular demand, "Mass Assembly" EP - revisited

People have been asking what's up and going on with Mass Assembly.  Well, in short, not much.  MA's been on a very long hiatus and nothing upcoming is planned.  However, I thought I'd post the EP for those of you who haven't heard it and might care to listen.

"Mass Assembly" features Bill Broad on guitar, Davy James on bass, Bruce Brandau on drums and me singing.  It was recorded and mixed by Taras Petryk at serpentOne sound.  Hope you enjoy and, who knows, maybe some interest might awaken the beast...

New song upload! "Oh Ya Whateva" by D.D.M.

Another brand new tune inspired by lack of inspiration and the birth of meaning to an unexpecting mother. One more addition to the Just a Man explanation.  Get it?  Cool.

(If you'd like to purchase this or other DDM tunes, you can find them at http://thisisddm.bandcamp.com.  Thanks!)

Noisy Cricket!

I built this from a vero layout I found at http://www.sabrotone.com/?attachment_id=35. It's a very cool little 1/2 Watt amp that's really good with pedals and surprisingly loud through the right speaker. It runs on a 9v battery, sounds really clear and warm and is very responsive to your playing. I thought I'd share it but you must please excuse the guitarist for he knows not what he does.  You should get the basic idea anyhow...

New Song Uploaded - "Dust to Lust" by DDM

"Another song born and raised to be acknowledged. I could not control the lyrics that escaped from out of the point of my pen so the point has been made heard, accompanied by beaten notes and sung in wails from burning mouths. Beware the approaching, for they have no cause..." -unknown

New song uploaded - "Eleven" by D.D.M.

Here's a new song I wrote and recorded yesterday. It's about the end of time and the universe being a malevolent benevolence and the warnings we never see and the awareness of nothing and about, like, when you think you own something made of leather but then it rips and laughs at you yelling "I'm not real leather, hahahaha!!!" and just stuff like that, you know?...(I don't know what it's about but it is a song that wasn't two days ago...)

DDM Set Rehearsal - 7/21/12

So, as you may have noticed, I've got a couple of shows coming up in August and, just so you know, a whole lot more in the works.  You also may know that I'll be playing solo - without a band.  This, for some reason, seems to be confusing a lot of people so, I decided to post a basic, no frills recording of a "set" rehearsal made yesterday afternoon - just me, my guitar and some tunes I hope you'll enjoy.  There're some covers I may or may not be playing at any given show and even a couple of really old tunes from way back some of you might remember (please expect and excuse the usual, guaranteed screw-ups generated straight from the deepest depths of my being...)

Joy Division - No Love Lost (Cover by D.D.M.)

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!
