Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 - MyVideo

- ‘1979′ was released in 1996 as the second single from their third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

- To capture the proper feel on video, the band traveled to Los Angeles to renew acquaintances with directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who in 1994 had filmed the Pumpkins’ video for “Rocket,” from Siamese Dream. Dayton and Faris have an impressive resume that also includes R.E.M.’s “Tongue,” Jane’s Addiction’s “Gift,” and Porno for Pyros’ “Pets”.

- Among those in the running to direct “1979″ was Spike Jonze, but he was already booked. LINK
