Remember back about five years ago when Then Vines were allegedly going to bring rock back? They were listed alongside a slew of other bands in the “the” category as the saviors of sound. What happened to them? Does anyone care? I know I always disliked whatever these boys cobbled together. And maybe that wasn’t fair. Maybe in my mind whatever they did they weren’t The Strokes and so I couldn’t really get my heart to care about what they produced.
This has changed. Well it’s changed in a minor way. I still don’t really care if The Vines drop a new album or simply fade away. I have no investment in them as a band {unlike, say Phantom Planet who’s breaking up and I think that sucks} so I don’t really care either way. I do, however, care about this track that I stumbled upon a day or two ago. It’s an acoustic and offbeat cover of the brilliant track Ms Jackson by Outkast. Enjoy the music.

Hopefully I’ll be able to update TWF on a regular basis from now on. I guess only time will tell.

good to have you back
I was absolutely gutted about Phantom Planet splitting up. I’m a big fan of all their albums, but I really thought they’d hit their stride with Raise the Dead.
I’m so glad I got the chance to see them play live once.
im one dedicated vines fan, love this track.
they also did a cover of another outkast song “so fresh and so clean” that was cool too.
