‘Your Generation’, my book on British Youth Cults, is currently on hold but should finally be published in 2009.
(This book was part-serialised in Sounds twenty-odd years ago and tells
the story of 2-Tone, New Mod, punk, the New Romantics, Crass, Oi etc. Click
on ‘The Story Of Oi’ for a taster – an in-depth retrospective
look at the influential British Streetpunk scene of the late '70s. ‘Mod
Squad’ reproduces a couple of articles I wrote back in 1979 on the Mod
renewal. If I ever get five minutes I'll add memories of my time on the road
with the 2-Tone bands and the NWOBHM too.)

these handy definitions:
bushel, n, a measure of capacity for corn, fruit, liquids,
etc. (Brit, 8 gallons; US, 64 US pints).
bushell, v, 1) to agitate, titillate, question, provoke, amuse,
mock, taunt, quip or rant. 2) to puncture the pompous. 3) to actively promote
loud and raucous guitar and ska-based music (see racket) or to gonad. 4) to
advocate patriotic liberation – an English parliament for English voters
in an independent UK. 5) to oppose the European Union, Blairism, big government,
over-taxation and all forms of bureaucracy and liberal self-loathing. 6) to
celebrate the female form in all its glory. 7) to imbibe strong ales. 8) to
reject the bourgeois and denigrate the mindlessly fashionable. 9) to be proud
of working class origins and achievements. 10) to fight for the right of British

Bushell On The Box stands proudly on its reputation for cutting up
rough, making a fuss, having a laugh, having a say, flying the flag, and generally
pissing on the electric fence of destiny.
