VAST (Visual Audio Sensory Theater)

[Ryan]

Hello everyone, Jon started something new today. Every week he’s going to do a podcast, and play some music. This week he recorded “Song Without a Name” and “Pretty When You Cry” acoustic, but next week there will be new music. These songs are an example of what he as been doing lately with the custom songs. He talks a little bit about it in the cast... You can go here to get the cast, and the two songs: http://www.realvast.com/the-vast-cast.html Thank you, The VAST Camp

I could be wrong, as I have found it hard to follow him of late... but it seems like he makes more gimmick ways to make money instead of focusing on putting out new albums... which bugs me. I would love new music.

I feel the same way. I guess I'm not being involved enough to feel any other way about his ventures, but seen from afar it really feels gimmicky.

Dudes, it's far from gimmicky. Of the recent output, go listen to Call On Me, There Is No Tomorrow, Trail Of Tears, No One Could Know, Whisper My Name In Your Heart and Diamonds To Coal. It's all absolutely beautiful, and they're all rough demos at this stage.

The Thing They Took and Noise are also honourable mentions.

The debut album all done acoustically:

The second release of a five part series, Stripped/Red is a collection of songs spanning multiple VAST albums. This album includes more story telling from Jon about the songs and what they mean to him. Each album is signed by Jon Crosby and includes hand stamped artwork.


and Blue is:


1. No One Could Know
2. I Don’t Have Anything

Part three of a five part series, this album explores has an inward feeling, in contrast to the more outward feeling of Stripped/Red.

That's pretty sweet. He's better than that HORRIBLE tour he's a part of select dates of. Buncha terrible 90's has-beens with little to no talent, unlike VAST.

First live show tonight since 2009:

[Ryan]

Yeah his weight tends to go up and down. Glad he still has his voice.

What tour he was part of select dates of? I thought this Whisky show was the only one he did recently?

Stripped/Violet - 6th entry in the series now:


https://www.realvastshop.com/collect...d-violet-on-cd

I felt like something was missing from the Stripped series. All songs I wrote before the first VAST album ended up ignored. They are a little raw because I wrote them between 16 and 18 years old, but I feel they are an important part of my body of work. There are five songs on this album that were never released at all until now: It's shipping next week and any body who orders it in the next 48 hours will definitely get it in time for Christmas.

Electric womb
Enemy
Cannibal
Purity*
Channel zero
I’m a Dragon*
Sacred*
Happy*
Pretend*
Skin Cage
if you are in heaven
Jaded

i wondered when this sort of thing would start, and had kind of looked forward to it. Hair bands have been doing it for awhile.
The right line up could be really cool, but you're right, this is awful.

[eversonpoe]

guess i forgot to post this here a month ago when we listened to it!
