Video: R.E.M., ‘Mine Smell Like Honey’

Tweet

As promised last week, R.E.M. today premiered its first music video from the forthcoming Collapse Into Now: a clip for radio single “Mine Smell Like Honey” that was directed by Dominic DeJoseph and, bassist Mike Mills tells Spinner, is “a reference to the old Buster Keaton silent film kind of days of pratfalls and just watching people look like they’re getting hurt when they’re really not.”

    I like the song. The video – not so much.

    The chorus is good, but the verse sounds lazy. Video is pointless.

    Keaton, Bowie (Lodger), Warhol, etc. Look beyond the immediate.
