  • Musician Mike Skinner has created a film to celebrate the Spirit of 69; a modern interpretation of a look and attitude that was started back in 1969 by first generation skinheads. The parallels with Skinner and skinhead subculture are obvious: his musical education was an eclectic mix of cultural genres; including his own work with The Streets. The film is an energetic journey through the characters, music, style and sentiment of this influential multi-racial moment, inspired by the authentic individuals who lived it and still influence youth culture today.

    I'am an original from 1969 and i can tell you I remember at fifteen in 1969 the culture was coming into my school with 1/4 inch Bovver turn-ups in your strides and the proper skinhead haircuts coming in so much that a lot of my mates were banned from coming into school with that look! and when I left school I couldn't afford proper DMs that was for the boys who could pay that sort of money, all I could get were old army surplass hobnail boots but they did the trick and was the business : )

    Great video :) was looking at getting a pair of docs had no idea they had anything to do with 2 tone and ska/punk but I suppose it makes sense with the skinheads.
    Love Pauline Black and 2 Tone in general, actually super happy Gorillaz went and got her for Charger and have gone into Dancehall.
    Fashion really has come full circle and love that the music has if a bit more modern too. Punk is coming back more, dancehall is massive and dub having a comeback and Grime is basically the new punk. Shame the politics had to come with it ;)
