Here’s a beautiful polychrome geometric mosaic of the 4thC AD found in via Nerino, Milan. The floor was perhaps part of the Imperial Palace or a patrician building. Note the edge of a well, cut into the floor after it was built. #MosaicMonday Archaeological Museum of Milan

Our CEO & Co-founder @bennbuilds spoke at Up.Summit hosted by @UPPartnersVC about how Reflect is building reliable access to sunlight as a foundation for everything we want to achieve as a species.

‘The Crack’ is such a fantastic album, packed with great songs. Such a sad loss with the passing of Malcolm Owen (and later Paul Fox). If you get a chance to see Ruts DC now, grab it with both hands. Jennings, Ruffy & Heggarty are fantastic! Photo by me

Overnight train trip to London for a very special gig! (Pics from that in due course) Photos are: 1. At Marylebone with my cuppa 2. One of my favourite stations, Birmingham Moor Street 3.The ‘posh’ loo on the train 4. Pimlico at night. What a view!

And here’s the telegram that Dave Cork sent to Roger Eagle to book The Sex Pistols into Erics for that 15th Oct 1976 gig. #sexpistols #punk

Such fantastic artwork by the great Barney Bubbles.

Saturday afternoon fun at @CrowleyOnAir’s Lost 80s at The Social. Big thanks to Stuart for his help yesterday, and to Gary for the great set and, of course, for my Generation X shout out! Sometimes the blurred pics are the best! I love my ‘Social Groovers’ family! 💃🕺

In London, with a takeaway cup of builder’s tea. I found a great cafe, shame I didn’t have time for a full English breakfast.

Here’s Dad, about to tuck into a roast chicken Sunday lunch (with a glass of white wine of course). Not bad for 100 and 3/4!

Hello! It’s #IdolSunday and I know that @FatOldAnarchist is having some technical issues and can’t post, so in the meantime here’s Triumph by Generation X. It’s one of my faves by them. Photos by Ray Stevenson taken at Air Studios https://t.co/8DyIRzZI7i #punk #newwave

OTD 10 October 1977 Talking Heads play CBGB, New York. This was their final performance at the legendary club. A recording of the gig was released in 2024 as part of the ‘Super Deluxe Edition’ of their debut album Talking Heads: 77. I love this ‘communique’! 👇🏻

This isn't a bad night out for £1.80 on a Sunday, is it? OTD, 9th October 1977, Ultravox, supported by Radio Stars and XTC, played the Roundhouse. I'd definitely have been up for that. Unfortunately I was at home preparing for Sixth Form College the next day. ☹️

Oh man, I know I'm weird but this is my kind of article. The Bronze Hoplite Panoply and the Othismos in the Early Phalanx by H. W. Lanphier. Otherwise known as 'the push, or not the push: that is the question'. @Sarah404BC https://t.co/zgO2Ra6Oki

Here's a Wednesday treat: The Vice Creems with 'Danger Love' Anything sound familiar? The line up: Kris Needs, Colin Keinch, Michael Blair (or Mick Jones? 😉) Anthony Ross (Tony James anyone?) Nicholas Khan (Topper Headon perchance?) and Robin Banks. https://t.co/O9rF8Vi8Xn

After the birthday shenanigans there was time to show Kate Apollonia before she headed back to the UK! This is one of my favourite archaeological sites in Albania.

7 October 1977 The Fall played The Squat, Manchester, a Rock Against Racism gig. The Squat no longer exists, it was on Devas St, Oxford Rd, by the University. Photos by Bernie Wilcox from the Manchester Digital Music Archive Thats a very shiny shirt! https://t.co/QWhgGaRbvz

My view tonight doesn’t look real. The sunset was ablaze on the horizon. It’s like a painting.

6 October 1977 The Stranglers supported by The Drones played Malvern Winter Gardens, selling out a week in advance. David Corio "I managed to get one decent shot of bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel reading NME, & then he started getting irritated" More here: https://t.co/br6SHXgjle

Well, it’s been quite a margarita-fuelled birthday weekend! Here’s to the year ahead 🍸🎂

2nd October 1977 The Clash play Porrhaus, Vienna, part of the European leg of the Get Out Of Control Tour. Excellent photos by Christian Gennari. I love it when you can see the audience, how they react, what they are wearing. It takes me right back! #TheClash #punk
