Jesus and Mary Chain Look Back on 30 Years of 'Psychocandy'

The "Just Like Honey" clip seemed like an anti-video. What you remember about making it?

"I don't remember much. All of our videos at that time – It seems a bit odd to say it – but we wanted to make videos like The Monkees. There'd be an episode of The Monkees, and then there'd be one of their songs and it would be a little film clip. That was a blueprint for all of the Mary Chain's early videos.

I remember the video director for 'You Trip Me Up' asking how we wanted it to be, and we told him exactly that: We wanted it to be like The Monkees. We said, 'Let's do it on a beach somewhere with guaranteed sunshine.' So we buggered off to Portugal for a few days during Easter, and it was pissing with rain nonstop. We got about 10 minutes worth of sunshine, and that's how we shot that video."
