Watch: R.E.M. – “Mine Smell Like Honey”



Up top, you can check out the new video for “Mine Smell Like Honey,” (via Spinner) the first single from R.E.M.’s forthcoming album, Collapse Into Now. The album is in stores on March 8th. Bassist Mike Mills calls the video “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.”

Sadly, even though a new album is coming out, R.E.M. aren’t planning on touring in support of it. “We’ve made an album that we really love and I think it can sink or swim on its own, so I think we probably won’t be doing any shows at all,” said Mills. “We don’t have any planned at this point.”
