Just finished reading "Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles" by G.S. Denning. An entertaining take on Sherlock Holmes (and all the Lovecraftian versions) that has brought a wry smile to face (and helped kill some time on flights up & down the country).
This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - X XTC - English Settlement #MusicSky #XTC Great start to the week with a bit of characterful pop. I confess, my favourite XTC album is a 'best of' but this is still satisfying listen www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W William Orbit - Strange Cargo III #MusicSky #WilliamOrbit Another 90s album that comes with many memories. Great mix of electronics with more organic elements. I probably should listen to this more.

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops #MusicSky #WilliamBasinski Not much needs to be said about these albums (the box set is ace). If you haven't heard them, give them a go. Unnerving, minimal music.

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wealdham - Motorway #MusicSky #Wealdham Like an updating or re-imagining of Kraftwerk (but not in a derivative way). In both a cliché & a pun, this synth odyssey takes you on a real journey. Recommended.

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W White Hills - H-P1 #MusicSky #WhiteHills Sometimes it is fun to just wig-out. Rip roaring psych that really hits the spot. whitehills.bandcamp.com/album/h-p1

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wax Tailor - Tales of Forgotten Melodies #MusicSky #WaxTailor Cinematic downbeat in the vein of DJ Shadow, RJD2 and like those two, a cut above much of the early 00s stuff. Really enjoy this

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Will - Pearl of Great Price #MusicSky #Will Completely forgotten about this! Gothic/industrial album heavy on the atmosphere. Kind of fun in hindsight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ct...

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W The Waeve - The Waeve #MusicSky #TheWaeve For me, this has an 80s/post-punk feel. It's restless & all over the place but I love it & I want more. thewaeve.bandcamp.com/album/the-wa...

This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Interim Report, March 1979 #MusicSky @warringtonruncorn.com Somehow evokes my childhood (even though I was a southerner, from Brighton). A damn fine piece of music.

As promised in the previous #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky post I have written a more wordy/detailed overview of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. It is available below: I stress it is still an introduction but allows me to words/explanation than I can on a one-page summary. Hope it is useful, enjoy.

Making Molecules' Stereo@nzmolecules.bsky.social · 3w agoThis #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary introduces 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. It builds on the Diels-Alder 1 pagers & is another [4+2] cycloaddition but gives 5-membered rings. It is only an intro. More details will be on makingmolecules.com as soon as I've typed up my notes. Enjoy!
