Oregon Daily Emerald
untile has become a very
tired city, a city that has
been bled for every ounce
of musical talent. But St
Paul, unlike its sister city
tagMinneapolis, is just liegin
I ning to make its mark on
lit ‘ musical history If the city
* ever does at hieve musical
mecc.a status, it will he in
part Iks ause of Walt Mmk
The hand, whit h is fronted hv
guitarist and vocalist John Kim
brough (it confessed Ben t nsey
fan) and bass guitarist and vocal
ist t indit e Belanoff. (drummer
Joey Oarortker is usually in the
hat k) t ame to Portland for the
set mid time last Friday to open
for the Lemonheads and Hole
During Walt Mink's stay in
Portland, the members hit one of
the hottest tourist attractions —
Powell's Bookstore.
"It was so overwhelming that I
couldn’t buy anything It's unbe
lievable: we spent almost two
hours there, and I t ouldn't buy
anything," Kimbrough said
Walt Mink began touring a
month ago with Paul Westerlierg
and moved on to tin* Lemonheads
two shows before Portland. The
Westerherg tour was cut short
when the singer injured his back.
Kimbrough said the tour with
the Lemonheads is a marked
departure from the tour with
Westerherg.
"This tour is really fun." he
said. "Touring with Hole and the
COUHlTSi r*HQIO
Ujinonhodds is awesome: touring
with Paul was a little (his hand
mein tiers) kept to themselves. and
wo kept to ourselves a much
more low-key tour This tour is
a little more fun, a little more
sociable."
Walt Mink's new album Hurt
hack. hide, its second album for
Carolina Records, exposes the
hand's roots for what they are,
other than Midwestern
"We recorded in this really
weird studio in I.A next to this
really good burrito place and
across from an adult bookstore,"
he said
Kimbrough made it very clear
that he doesn’t think the band fits
into the Minneapolis scene.
We don't play tlin kind uf
imisn that esorvbody nisi' (in
Minima polls) dims.' Im sau! Not
that everybodv else plays this
generic kind of music, but it
doesn’t fit into what everybody
n I so is doing I grew up in New
York, and I'm not a fan of that
kind of m n sic (Midwestern
music), so that influent v is not in
evidence "
The onstage gig is gutting easi
er and easier for Kimbrough.
"Actually. I'm not nervous at
all,” he said before they took the
stage at l.a Luna. "I have a really
had cold, so rnv head's real fog
gy "
Walt Mink took its name from
a psychology professor at the
hand members' almamator.

For the Oregon Daily Emerald
Thu seasons change, the months fly along,
another year passes, and invariably "Spike and
Mike” give us the latest barrage of animation mad
ness.
Yes folks, the ever popular Animation Festival
has returned in its 1993 version. Unfortunately,
though, this most recent compilation falls well
below the humor and freshness found !;• previ
ous years.
