1st Sibling Rivalry Bump!
1st Sibling Rivalry Bump!
Djai Skjellerup's cover of "Get Back (Jack Kerouac)" went from 87 bumps by 30 unique account holders to 246 from 75.
Today we visit a musician in SL who has only recently created an account on t61. POL Arida's song "1" is currently at 68 bumps from 30 users. Where will it be tomorrow?

WHY THE BUMP BOMBS ARE NOW CALLED SIBLING RIVALRY BUMPS:
You may have missed the discussion on thesixtyone.com forums that I've been engaged in just recently. The link is http://www.thesixtyone.com/forum/topic/1308/ On that forum I've proposed a slight modification to the way our group does its group bumps to help bridge any gaps perceived between "SL users" and "t61 users" (read: people and music lovers all.)
Sam and James created thesixtyone.com and invited the public to partake in the fun. Because some folks found the site via SL and arrived wearing their avatars there has been a perception that SL listeners intentionally separate themselves from other music to be found on that site. You and I both know that this is not true.
Account holders on t61 are all S&J's little kids. In the spirit of the little kids nagging each other I thought it would be fun to post our daily bumps on my comment wall for all to either join in on or "compete" against.
So we're going to open our new group bumps up for everyone to partake in. As always each individual listener will determine on their own whether to apply one or more bumps to the song at hand. If we luck out and it catches on some format will be agreed upon where another song will be posted "vs" the one that we post. Then EVERYONE will be able to freely listen to both and bump either one or both! WOOT!
It's all tongue in cheek humor and in the spirit of fun. Knowing this group and the amazing things we've accomplished, such as the two wonderful day long live music parties that came together at the last minute, we'll follow through on the fun!
**THE CURRENT PATTERN - HOW WE CHOOSE THE ARTIST AND SONG (SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS THE SIBLING RIVALRY BUMP MATURES)**
We bumped our way through 43 artists before returning to the start!
We've restarted from the beginning visiting each artist in order.
As new artists arrive we'll insert them into the bump order intermingled with existing artists.
From each artist we choose the song that is closest to 100 points without going over and try to get it as many votes from as many unique voters as possible. For artists with songs all over 100 points we'll now choose the song with THE LEAST bumps and show it some love.
Our efforts are:
Helping artists level up
Keeping us engaged and active as a group
Systematic and fair
Our in-world group is now at 129 group members and growing. It's nice to have you along for the ride :)
