but moxy fruvous actually sold some albums and we're pretty popular on college radio back in the early 90's...

they recorded songs about canadian politics for gods sake... in a cappella.

A black dude might let "When I Come Around" play if it comes on the radio.

Some falsetto metal band with synthesized string parts, not so much.

I should clarify, by "black dude" I guess I meant "black dude who mostly doesn't listen to white music." I feel like Hot Topic black dudes are not a great barometer for measuring whiteness.

Yeah, this is it, on all counts.

Anyway, it got me to thinking how I saw Guided By Voices a dozen-plus times but never once saw anyone of color at one of their shows, but I know Pop Zeus if (obviously) a pretty big fan, so.
