DRIFTVEIL CITY JUST GOT A TON MORE GROOVIER

Season 2 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume AI

Ripped by toonlink

Okay, so Septemberposting may be over - but in the process of looking for other Earth, Wind & Fire songs to use for the posts earlier in the week, I rediscovered an absolute gem. A gem by, of course, none other than the legend toonlink himself - arguably the best ripper of them all in the early seasons of the channel.

That proficiency alone almost guarantees any rip he works on is one for the playlists, yet we've got something else to discuss here: Driftveil City from Pokémon Black and White. In all the years Pokémon games have been releasing, its hard to find one city theme that is as unanimously beloved as Driftveil City - its vibe and beat is simply unmatched, and several YouTube uploads of the theme have view counts in the millions. Its a theme whose sheer groove and quality transcends just Pokémon fans and unites people all over to sit down and jam.

Which, too, is what DRIFTVEIL CITY JUST GOT A TON MORE GROOVIER does to SiIvaGunner viewers - arranging Earth, Wind & Fire's Let's Groove into the tune of the theme. Its a perfect match for the city's original soundscape, and uses both instruments from the original track as well as ones from the Driftveil City Gym in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The grooviness of both pieces are channelled into every part of the rip, from the percussion, lead and background instruments, and the intro still channelling Driftveil City's original intro.

Its hard to find much to say on rips that are so effective in being perfect - when toonlink wasn't aiming for the stars, he still took the time to refine his craft to be damn near infallible. Even back on my first listen in 2017, it was rips like this that would regularly remind me of just how good the people behind SiIvaGunner were at their hobby.

Made yet another one of these edits of Bingo and Bandit's dancing scene in "Daddy Putdown". I actually made all three of these edits back-to-back and I just wanted to have space between posts. This time, it's set to "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind, & Fire. This one is kinda special because I used to love listening to this with my mom when I was around Bingo's age. Enjoy and, once again, shout out to my trans big brother (@warcrimetime). Hope you get a kick out of watching this high.

I just learnt that Let's Groove a song that I heavily associate with FNAF is by Earth, Wind and Fire the same people that wrote September.

Lemme tell you. My reaction? My jaw has never dropped so fast in my life.

Bishops Gala Continued: The Elements Personified

If I told you that I’ve tried to see EWF since 2014, would you believe me? Story time.

One day I’d prepare to travel to L.A. Y’all know how I feel about the City of Angels. This would be one of my lengthier visits as I was there for a week (and a day). Going to L.A. didn’t require an itinerary, but there are few things I knew I wanted to experience-The Arsenio Hall Show was one of them. I arranged for us to get tickets to the show where Earth, Wind, & Fire would be the musical guests. Once the tickets were secured, I thought of this experience for days at a time! What would it be like to be in a live studio audience on a talk show? My young, blogger-self could not wait!

Fast forward or slow forward. L.A. traffic absolutely sucks, right? I remember my bf and I being on the highway, going steady, then coming to an abrupt stop. We’d gotten caught in traffic just minutes before reaching Studio City where the show was filmed. We finally find street parking, walk towards the gate with 5 minutes to spare and BAM! Security stops us in our tracks to let’s us know that we could not enter the set. We arrived too late. Disappointment came over me, maybe even a little sadness… but we managed to take advantage of the time were in the area, visiting one of the best record stores I’d ever been to.

Anywho… for the next 8 years, I’d miss EWF shows in the Midwest. In 2021, I’d travel to Vegas AFTER EWF’s residency at The Venetian would be over. We literally missed them by a couple of weeks. In 2022, got $600 tickets for a show in Dallas and EWF announced they were touring with Headliner, Santana. Unfortunately, he would become ill, rescheduling the dates to Spring of 2023. I truly thought it wasn’t going to happen for me to witness this amazing band. And then, I got a call of a lifetime…. A dear friend of mine told me they needed my help with an upcoming event. Let’s just say, the rest is history. I finally got to see EWF in one of the most memorable and personable settings-Bishop’s Gala. One of the most beautiful things I adore about nonprofit work is that it connects you with amazing people. In any room I step in, my goal is to be remembered. This call was unexpected, and it was incredibly rewarding.

I love you, Earth, Wind, & Fire! ❤️

Lecture 15: The (then) “futuristic” pop dance hit “Let’s Groove” (1981) by Earth, Wind & Fire, (EWF) showed that some disco groups of the era enjoyed staying power into the early 1980s. Deeply rooted in jazz and R&B traditions, EWF scored their first Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in 1975 with the funk song “Shining Star.” The band enjoyed a string of Top 10 hits until this song came out six years later. “Let’s Groove” reached #3 on the Hot 100 in 1981, marking the end of their successful run. Band member Philip Bailey went on to score a major hit with Phil Collins when the two performed the dance song “Easy Lover,” released at the end of 1984. By this time, EWF’s star was fading. The band’s songs would continue to chart, but nothing like their heyday from ‘75 to ‘81.
