snow halation but it shreds

Season 4 Episode 2 Featured on: Halation Celebration ~ 10th Anniversary Tribute to Snow halation

Ripped by Joshua Taipale, Nolithium ft. Charles Ritz

December 2020. Near the end of Season 4 Episode 2, closing out SiIvaGunner's fifth year straight of running, a new project is suddenly unveiled to us as part of the SiIvaGunner All-Star Winter Festival. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Love Live's Snow Halation, a song closely tied to the channel's history, the SiIvaGunner team unveiled "Halation Celebration" - a full-on arrangement album featuring two dozen contributions both from within the team and from external submissions. You can sort of trace a journey here, from the original King for a Day Tournament, to the King for Another Day Tournament, to Halation Celebration, and to Season 5 and beyond - the journey that would eventually form "SiIvaGunner Fusion Records", the branding used to denote these sorts of full-scale arrangement projects in the future.

I've talked about a few of these in the past - hell, the blog's first-ever post was on Running Through Cookie Country from SGFR's "Super Star Symphony" project, and later on I'd cover *** EVERYTHING IS FINE *** from the first SGFR release of Season 7 - "Shovelware from Beyond the Deep!". Yet for as great as all these projects are, it all truly began with a Christmas celebration - it all began with Snow Halation, and for my money snow halation but it shreds was one of the utmost best parts of that celebration.

And that's not to disparage or dismiss any of the other contributions - like every SGFR release, Halation Celebration is filled with tons of different interpretations, different styles and creators all outputting at an utmost high level of quality, to where it almost does feel a little bad to pick just one favorite. Yet I am at the end of the day merely a Sonic fan, a total sucker for punk-rock and wailing electric guitars - and snow halation but it shreds is quite literally exactly what it promises on the tin. And its a fantastic performance - though I adored hearing the arrangements from SiIva's mainstay rippers, its just as fascinating to hear contributions from people like Joshua Taipale and Nolithium, who contribute despite otherwise not being associated with the channel! And the two are EXCELLENT musicians in their own right - something that I only discovered through this arrangement.

Holiday cheer can be a lot of things, and there's going to be a variety of different rips featured on the blog during the month to truly encompass that (and some more silly stuff too, don't worry!). Yet its in large part about appreciation and celebration, of shared and spread love and joy. And that feeling transcends any sort of conventions of music genres - that joy can be felt, even through the shredding riffs of snow halation but it shreds. Every part of Halation Celebration is an absolute gift, and I'm eternally going to be grateful for it playing part in kickstarting SGFR, and introducing me to so many talented musicians both inside the team and out.

Time passed slowly at first, and Mary kept herself to herself for the first fifty years or so. But all that changed one fateful day. Though she did not know it at the time, Annie would be the changing of her 👻❤️

i know mona did many horrible things and i understand why the liars wouldn’t trust her but… i still feel bad for her. all that she wanted was to be part of the group and the liars never included her (again, i get it)… a season later we see her faking her own death in order to stop 🅰️ and then she gets kidnapped for like 5 months, she is tortured alongside the liars and still, she isn’t included in the group… i’m not blaming the liars but… idk they could have been great together

Todays rip: 13/04/2024

Locked In The Underground

Season 4 Episode 2 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume C

Ripped by Jamangar

Whaaat? More Undertale?? Say it ain't so!!

Look, I lamented it a bit over on Logan Paul's Shop, and its something you can even see for yourself by viewing the Undertale tag on the blog archive. In terms of games to have been featured on the blog one way or another, Undertale/Deltarune are leagues ahead of the competition. And I am torn on this, still. Like on the one hand, I want the blog to cast a wide net of rips, to not just cover my personal favorites, but to cover as much of SiIvaGunner's history and growth. But on the other hand...Undertale IS a huge part of that history and growth, it has been since the very beginning, and as I discussed in Your Best Nightmario and Shiny Smily TALE the game's very DNA and themes is just a perfect fit for everything that SiIvaGunner stands for. Well, there's that - and there's how rippers like Jamangar just keep absolutely outdoing themselves with how much leverage they can get from this 9-year old game's soundscape. Its rips like Locked In The Underground that remind me of WHY Undertale rips are so prevalent on here.

If you've been reading for a while or just kept up with SiIvaGunner in general to the degree I have (or are from the team!! hi team!!), you may well recognize Jamangar's name. Much like ShonicTH with Trial of the Heart and many others on the channel, Jamangar has carved out her own very specific niche in terms of what she contributes with. That niche is the same one you'll hear in World Out There and Story of Undertale: There are few SiIvaGunner contributors who have as much expertise in ripping Undertale as Jamangar. Yet all of these three rips feel quite different from one another - Story of Undertale is a magnificent journey throughout just about the entire Undertale campaign with instruments changing along the way, wheras World Out There was an incredibly resonant mashup/melodyswap, a full-on shot of nostalgia on all the senses. Indeed, Locked In The Underground follows their footsteps in quality, yet is excellent in a subtly different way - its just a flat-out banger.

I don't know what it is about Bruno Mars' music that makes it work so incredibly well in mashups. Perhaps I have BotanicSage to thank, with Pokemon GSC Is What I Like and 16BIT Magic both permanently etched into my soul ever since I first heard them - but Locked In The Underground takes on the very same challenge, and in my eyes passes with absolutely flying colors. I mean, it only takes a few seconds for the rip to sell you - as soon as you hear Mars' "oh-yeah-yeahs" followed by Undertale SFX playing to the beat, you KNOW Jamangar's made far more than a mere mashup here. It helps, of course, that CORE is already one of the most stand-out songs in the game, much like Colress' battle theme was to Pokémon Black & White's soundtrack in Light! (Potentialseeker Colress) - its hard NOT to get excited seeing a CORE rip knowing just how distinct of a sound any take on the track will have, due to the pure quality of the track underneath.

So much is done to have Locked In The Underground truly fit together. The melodyswap is fantastic on its own, having CORE's lead instrument play in tune with Mars' vocals yet rising high in volume to the song's chorus, and CORE's synthetic backing paired with the drums of Locked Out Of Heaven create such a unique soundscape to boot. But beyond that, there are tons of little flourishes - small segments where CORE's original melody peeks through in the backing, Undertale sound effects sprinkled in to censor expletives or punctuate key moments of the song...like Semi-Charmed All Star, you get the impression that Jamangar GETS both of the songs used, that she's "studied" how Locked Out Of Heaven works in order to have the mashup work so perfectly.

Really - Locked In The Underground is the kind of rip that just feels like a shoe-in for the blog, as one of the most popular rips made during 2020. Funny enough, beyond the obvious combination of Locked Out Of Heaven and Undertale, you could even read the rip's title itself to be referencing the feeling all of us had during the pandemic - sort of reframing its pleas and shouts, in a way. But then Locked In The Underground also isn't the kind of rip where I'm desperate to know more about its possible lore and inner workings: I know Bruno Mars, I know Undertale, I know Jamangar, and she made one of the season's cleanest bangers by doing what she does best. That's awesome.

So there’s gonna be a “Knives Out 2.”

SPOILERS AHEAD

I love mysteries.  They’re 80% of what I watch and 30% of what I read.  I worked in a Mystery bookstore for 8 years.

I hated Knives Out.

The film’s main premise: if Marta lies, she vomits.  Stupid.  Something I’d expect from a kids movie.

Once this vomit response was proven indisputable, all detective Benoit Blanc had to ask was, “Did you murder Harlan?”

No.

Next, “Did you see Harlan die?”

Yes.

Next, “How did he die?”

He slit his throat with a dagger.

Next, “Did he cut his own throat because of something you did?”

Yes.

Next, “What did you do?”

I unintentionally gave him an overdose of morphine.

If Marta lied she’d have vomited.

But Blanc never asked these questions.  Because it would have ended the plot right there.

That’s how fucking feeble the writing is.

If he had asked, Blanc would have called for a toxicology report immediately and for the body to be held by the coroner. Let’s say Ransom still set fire to the lab -- this was after the report was printed, because Fran had a copy.  But supposedly the blood and report were destroyed in the fire (except for the copy Fran hid) and Ransom killed Fran to keep her from revealing the lab’s results.

No lab keeps toxicology results just on paper.  It would have been in the lab’s computer mainframe database.  And The Cloud.  Which Ransom’s fire wouldn’t have touched.  It’s like thinking you’d destroy someone’s emails if you burn their laptop.  All Blanc had to do was have the stored information accessed.

And even if the results weren’t stored in the Cloud and had been completely destroyed, they’d still have Harlan’s body and they could retest.  Unless Ransom burned down the entire fucking morgue.

PLUS

After Harlan is injected  Marta tells him that in 5 minutes he’ll experience sweating and disorientation, and that he’ll be dead in 10 minutes.  Harlan says they have 8 minutes left, which means it’s 4 minutes since the injection. By the time Joni comes up to talk to Marta it’s been 6 minutes, yet he’s not experiencing any symptoms.  He talks to Marta for at least another minute with a clear head.  That makes it 6 to 7 minutes with no symptoms.

At that point he and Marta should have suspected something, and waited another minute.

After 9 minutes with no symptoms they should have been damn suspicious about WTF was in the bottles and why the antidote was missing from her bag.  Then they should have called 911.

Would it still have gotten Marta in trouble?  Possibly; she’d be a suspect.  But, as is later established in the movie, Harlan had ample enough money to deal with any threats to deport Marta’s mother and sister, and she had tried to save him.  Blanc, anonymously hired by Ransom, would then have been investigating an attempted murder.

The screenwriter set up dominoes without completely thinking through exactly where they’d fall if people responded logically to the situation.

I won’t get into why the rest doesn’t work, because these alone are enough to have contempt for the screenplay.

By the way, Knives Out, the 70s called and Columbo wants his cigar back.

I’m going to go watch Columbo’s episode “Negative Reaction” to wipe out the memory of this movie.

Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 2

Hopper

Oh my God we’re finding out how he ended up in Russia.

So he jumped before the explosion.

I don’t like seeing this.

Max and Dustin

Awe. Poor Max.

Oh she saw things.

“They said the same thing about Bundy”

Damn they’re really out here finding him before the cops.

Wasn’t there a customer in there?

“Reefer Rick!” “Don’t scream that!”

Oh shit that’s funny. This whole exchange with Eddie has me in tears 😂

They’re not bullshitting you.

Will Mike and Eleven

Mike seems so awkward.

Poor will. He misses his friends too! He wants time with Mike too. I mean yeah cause he’s in love with him but also they’ve been friends their entire lives.

Jonathan knows how Will feels. I believe this 100%

Stop lying Eleven

Awe he’s third wheeling. Poor Will.

Eleven really needs to get her powers back and embarrass the hell outta Angela. Like bitch just mind yo business there’s no need to attack eleven.

True Will could’ve reached out more but that’s not an excuse to blame him for the lack of communication.

No El, do not beg her for anything.

She got what she deserved. *unbothered shrug* why are they all looking at Eleven like this is so insane. When the shit was happening to her y’all laughed. Laugh now.

Lucas

Shouldn’t have drunk so much.

At least he’s trying to tell them D&D isn’t what they think.

Joyce

Listen to your gut Joyce. He’s alive!

She’s right. Don’t believe the death unless you see a body.

His name is Murray

Who is this Russian guy?

Nancy

She’s trying to get the story. And of course she’s gonna get the right one before the actual reporters.

Uh… Fred? Is he next?

She went straight for the source

NO FRED DON’T GO INTO THE WOODS

Damn he still missing, I thought he ran back out.

Jonathan

He’s a stoner for real.

NO HIM AND NANCY CAN NOT BREAK UP I CANT DEAL WITH THAT RIGHT NOW

Miscellaneous

THE COP GROUP (missing Hopper but still)

The captain seems suspicious. He’s either involved somehow or the next.

If their D&D game keeps coming to life and killing people, why do they keep playing?
