walt mink is one of my favorites that also suffers from a lack of decent live videos. i considered playing them back on my guest DJ week, but the lack of quality material prevented me. el producto was ubiquitous during the greatest summer of my life, and should have been their breakthrough album (it even got a 10.0/10.0 from pitchfork, back when pitchfork was this little website that you'd probably never heard of). unfortunately, success stayed just around the corner, and they disbanded in 1997. in all its phasey glory, walt mink:
i also encourage you to go out and find their studio werks. best band named after a macalester professor in the business.

Amazon has Goodnight and Colossus, which do you recommend?
colossus was their last album, goodnight was their last concert. never got the latter, but i can recommend the former (though i would also recommend starting earlier if possible).
Put on a killer live show. Joey, the drummer, was a beast. (He's gone on to have a pretty successful career.)
joey had/has one of those quintessential "what a long, strange trip it's been" kind of careers. also, one more example of walt mink's star-crossed destiny.
to quibble a little, orestes morfin, whom they picked up for el producto, knows his way around a kit, and can slam it good.
