Part of what's exciting with SiIva's various takeovers and events is that you never really know what to expect. Some events take a day, some a weekend, some a week - some a variety of sources, some a single, low-effort shitpost. Hell, we've even had a takeover that only featured three rips in total. Yet its that unpredictability that gives us the biggest surprises - surprises like A Day In The Snow.
I'll be very blunt and say, that I have little to no real experience with The Beatles despite just how hugely influential they've been to the world of music. Yet my attachment to the band means little when we've got people like LarryInc64 on the SiIva team, whose love for the band has been underlining his entire ripping history on the channel. As the self-described "Beatles Remix Guy", over a third of the tracks featured on the Beatles Day's album release are credited to LarryInc64, and his love for the band goes back as far as late Season 1 - still going strong today. I can only imagine that finally getting a takeover for the band in Season 5 must've been a dream come true for the guy.
And indeed, the takeover was enormous in scope and sheer quality despite being part of a larger event - 133 rips wound up being featured in the eventual album. And one of the many, many jewels of this takeover, this album, is A Day In The Snow: an above-and-beyond Snow Halation rearrangement that shows just how much love and care LarryInc64 has for The Beatles. Like Dancin' Tranquility, its a rip that shows just how much more there is to the art of mashups - what could've just been the instrumentals of The Beatles' music to the vocals of Snow Halation, is instead carefully tuned to allow the two sources to harmonize absolutely beautifully.
It pulls mainly from its titular song, of course, and its still very recognizably itself within the mix and edits, but to fully complete the Snow Halation sound, its edited and pitched in ways that still sound devilishly similar to the original song - as if its the boys themselves tweaking their tune to fit these new vocals. Elements from other Beatles songs are added into the mix to fill the spaces that A Day In The Life cannot, yet it never breaks my immersion or turns into any sort of chaotic, song-mashup mess. Not that there's anything decidedly wrong with those kinds of rips, I love meme mashups! But there's an aura of sincerity and care that goes into rips like A Day In The Snow, a vibe and feel that make them absolutely magical listens even to non-Beatles fans like myself. And honestly? It's thanks to this takeover that I've even became interested in listening to more Beatles music. Guess LarryInc64 won in the end!
no more supercrown, more supercap.
initial concept by larryinc64 on twitter, i just kinda took it further bc i think mario's a handsome little guy and designing is fun.

Both of my most recent shoutouts were to rips with a lot of tragedy behind them, and I want to round that series of thoughts out with the most evident example of such on the channel. Because on the outside looking in, SiIvaGunner appears to be nothing much more than a machine - users submit their rips, the rips are added to a queue, and then spat out once its their time. But anyone who's been with the channel for any substantial period of time knows the humanity present behind the stone-faced sculpture the channel hides behind. There are human beings who cherish one another and cherish what they create working on SiIvaGunner. Human beings who cherished Marrow. Human beings who refuse to let Marrows legacy fade.
To those uninitiated, Marrow was a prominent ripper on the channel, often one who stuck to his own guns rather than follow in suit with the popular games and memes. As a speedrunner of particular games, notably 3DS StreetPass games, his rips of said games would often stand out amidst the crowd, as niche picks still filled with effort and passion for the channel. Only a short while after his passing, his legacy would be celebrated with rips almost exclusively of fishing games - in reference to his most ripped and played game, StreetPass Fishing.
I can never say that I was friends with Marrow - like many of SiIva's contributors, he worked very much behind closed doors with the rest of the team, gladly letting the credit fall to SiIvaGunner as a whole rather than to himself. Yet since his passing, the rest of the team has made sure never to forget him - Telling Fish Tales was an album-exclusive rip by Marrow himself that, when time came to pay him tribute, was mastered and given beautiful visuals by other members of the team, to give him as proper a sendoff as any. Be it through 8 PM (Fishing Night in Heaven) or further uploads over the years in his memory, the SiIva team have made it full-on impossible for us to forget the impact he had on the channel. And that kind of humanity really just warms my heart.
I've been in a Devo mood lately, and I stumbled upon this mashup of their song "Cold War" mixed with the Sonic 3 genesis soundfont! Very nice mashup by larryinc64!
Dr. Mario- Fever- In the style of "Wipe Out!" by The Ventures [LarryInc64] A good way to end the summer. A reverse of my normal song formula, I guess. A VG song in the style of a pop song. A part of the Melee version of the track reminded me of surfer music. All credit goes to where needed. -LARRYINC64- SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/larryinc64 Twitter: twitter.com/LarryInc64 Newgrounds: motament.newgrounds.com Let's Plays with my friend Matt: https://www.youtube.com/user/PowerPlaid

Here’s a list of transformative (musical) works on Never Gonna Give You Up for all you last-minute schemers.
In case your targets friends are the kind who can recognise the original XcQ, and/or you want to rickroll them with something other than the OG music video, just ‘cause.
It’s definitely not exhaustive, and mostly consists of 8-bit remixes, because those are the ones I’m used to. It’s also arranged in descending order of view count, so if you’re really going for obscure, go further down the list within each section.

Look, this list is such a last minute effort (I'm sorry guys) so I'll just list what I can remember from the event/year/location, go search them yourselves alright HAHAHA
- Any number of Top Of The Pop appearances (technically backing tracks were used for TOTP because that's just their way of production), 1987
- Prince's Trust concert, 1988, Royal Albert Hall, London
- V Festival 2016, England
- Summer Sonic Festival with the Foo Fighters, 2017, Tokyo
- Foo Fighters Concrete and Gold Tour, 2017, London
- Any number of concerts from the 50 and Beautiful Life tours, 2016, 2017, and 2018, which would usually be filmed by audience members, but there are ones with pretty good audio and a view of the stage from the front row!
- It's genuinely a rabbit hole that you could roll down searching. Like I said, non-exhaustive list!
It’s quite fascinating that, at a glance, a lot of the links also end with capital ‘Q’...YouTube just what do you think you’re doing?????
Feel free to reblog and add your own! (I mean, if you reblog and add the OG I’m sure many of us would definitely still humour you)

SiIvagunner and crew made a lovely medley of the theme of Snowman in Mother, done in the style of several different games, musicians and genres.
@spaceauddity & @titleknown, I think you’d love this for various reasons. As well as anyone who likes the music of the Mother series and hearing game tunes done in very different styles.
