No accusations of "sell-out" from me, but I shuddered at the text I got off a friend... "Steve Whale jumping off the drum riser during Shaved Women... THAT'S what anarcho is all about"... yup, I think the Business' guitarist doing "rock moves" to songs like that woulda been too much! I s'pose 'cos it's STILL more than just songs/music to me. 
 
oi oi, that's yer lot...
