Dantalian's Chariot -   "Madman Running Through The Fields" From the album Chariot Rising (1996)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Flower Power Central!, as Pete Frame observed. Featuring Zoot Money and Andy Summers, the band wore all white onstage, and painted their amps and instruments white as well, all the better to display their light show, which was reputedly the best in England. Recorded an album in 1968, but when it was rejected by their record company, the band broke up. The tapes were resucitated and finally released in 1996; you would have thought that would have been ten years earlier, given Summers' involvement, right?

[julio-viernes]

El siguiente paso de Zoot Money (acompañado de Andy Summers y Collin Allen) fue crear los psicodélicos Dantalian´s Chariot a mediados de 1967. En bastantes casos los sesenta fueron años muy veletas. Mucha gente quería estar a la última, los grupos temían quedarse desfasados y se apuntaban a las nacientes modas. Muchos de esos grupos "mutantes" de extravagantes nombres tienen algún tema suelto muy bueno, pero ahí se quedaron; otros - Traffic (< SDG) y Procol Harum (< The Paramounts) son dos buenos ejemplos, Moody Blues también- supieron evolucionar con más clase y estilo, sin abandonar sus raíces R&B en el caso de los dos primeros (los Moodies no, porque su r+b había sido bastante mediocre). El abigarrado "carruaje" de Zoot pasó de EMI, sello en el que publicaron el single "The Madman Running Through the Fields", a Direction Records, que les tumbó el LP que estaban grabando y en su lugar sacó "Transition" con canciones previas, que salió a nombre de Zoot Money. Para abril de 1968, en un visto y no visto, Dantalion´s Chariot ya no existía, y Money y Summers ingresaban en los Animals de Eric Burdon a tiempo para grabar el álbum doble "Love Is" e incluir en él una nueva versión de "Madman (Running Through The Fields)".

A "special library" or a misnamed archives?: Little Witch Academia and archives stereotypes

Hello everyone! For today's post, I thought I'd write about the 20th episode of Little Witch Academia, titled "Intellect and Sensibility." In this young-adult anime, Akko, about age 16, is going to a school to try and become a witch. In this episode, she is trying to convince her so-called "rival," Diana, to return to the school, which she has left to settle family matters at her huge mansion. And, yes, Diana is as rich as you can get, with Akko, in an earlier episode, criticizing her for being "bourgeois," leading to a good deal of anger from Diana.  About halfway through the episode, we see an area that is dubbed the library as I noted on Twitter:

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Oct. 26, 2020.

This place is dimly lit and includes books on healing magic, detailing research on the subject. The place is clearly unused, with books appearing to be in some sort of magic water (or just water). Also, there are vines everywhere, so who in the world uses any of these resources or cares for it? Yikes! Again, this is another stereotype when it comes to archives, that materials are disheveled, disorganized, and that the place is poorly lit. All of those are fulfilled here.

Despite these negatives, the location does become central to the episode, as it allows Akko to unlock the fifth word, bringing Diana the boom of Chariot, allowing them to escape from this place. Overall, I enjoyed this episode and what this archivy place, which may resemble what the ALA calls "special libraries." They are places that can "serve particular populations." So it's hard to say whether they outright confused an archives with a library here like was done in the Star Wars franchise (mainly Attack of the Clones and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animation) or the Mystic Archives of Dantalian. Since this location is in a basement, it shares some stereotypes with the newspaper archive in Stretch Armstrong, to give one example. In some ways, it is a bit unfortunate the special library, as we can call it, is a setting, because neither Akko, nor Diana, uses any of the materials, like characters in Cleopatra in Space, Hilda, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

In any case, like most of my times I find these archivy situations, I stumbled upon this one. And yeah, I do think there some lesbian vibes between Akko and Diana, but that's a discussion for another day, I'd say. That's really all I can say about this because it was more of a setting than anything else. I wish they had done more in the library, but alas that did not happen. Hopefully, archives appear later in the series.

Happy Birthday to Andy Summers, started in the 60s mod scene - maximum RnB with Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band, into wild psychedelia when they became Dantalian's Chariot, landed in the USA, joined The Animals, spent 5 years studying classical guitar, then came Tubular Bells, then he joined The Police and found international fame and photography. Born 12/31/1942. #AndySummers #ThePolice #RockHonorRoll

Los mods están de luto por la muerte de Zoot Money a los 82 años. El gran Zoot al frente de su Big Roll Band en la que militaron Andy Summers, Colin Allen o Johnny Almond. El mismo Zoot de la camiseta de la famosa escena en el Ricky- Tick de los Yardbirds en "Blow Up!" (1' 19"), el Zoot de Dantalian´s Chariot y The Animals, también.

"Uncle Willie" es en mi opinión uno de los temas autóctonos mod definitivos. Arrollador R+B de principio a fin, y el primer single de la banda, editado en agosto de 1964. En abril de ese mismo año The Daylighters habían publicado el explosivo original, "Oh Mom (Teach Me How to Uncle Willie)". En total Zoot Money grabó con su banda, entre 1964 y 1966, ocho singles y un par de álbumes, uno en estudio y otro en directo.

En las imágenes de abajo una Big Roll Band casi terminal a principios de 1967 en vivo en el Klooks Kleek dándole todavía a "Do The Dog", "Walking The Dog" y una inicial que suena por todos lados a Young Rascals (es "Baby What I Mean" de los Drifters). Seguía habiendo mucha energía ahí, pero el asunto tenía los días contados.
