Vine, the iOS app that allows you to take short shaky videos and loop them incessantly, has been a big hit. I've been a bit of a skeptic but it's hard to deny that sometimes creativity can come in the form of 6 second video clips that can be looped individually or chained with more such clips. So I decided it was time I went in search of interesting and entertaining ways musicians are using Vine.

Some people are [baffled](http://www.alancross.ca/a-journal-of-musical-things/2013/4/4/the-cassette-subculture-the-new-vinyl.html?ref=hypebot.com) by the [cassette subculture](https://www.hypebot.com/cassette-subculture-continues-growth-in-2013-with-new-labels-releases-media-coverage/), others by the popularity of [Vine](https://itunes.apple.com/app/vine-make-a-scene/id592447445?ref=hypebot.com). I counted myself among the latter until I viewed the following Vines by musicians though my favorite is [Vinetune](http://www.vinetune.com/intro.html?ref=hypebot.com) which was created for some musicians by an ad agency.
