73rd Sibling Rivalry Bump

Kimmie's Can't Have Me went from 330 / 92 to 379 / 95 while Desoto Jones's Waiting went from 304 / 103 to 334 / 109

Today we revisit Spence Wilder, recently returned from the SL dead. His song Revo Redeaux is at 63 / 19

Our sib song comes from mandu - Melle Augustine's Captain of the Apocalypse is at 92 / 52

HELP WANTED:
I'm looking to rename the Sibling Rivalry Bump with a name that sheds the antogonistic history. I think we've hopefully moved past that stage and the kids are now able to play the game without pulling on each other's hair. Any suggestions for a new name?
Suggestions so far:
1. friendly rivalry bump (not all that different, eh?)
2. what's an avatar among friends bump (I kinda like this one but it's a bit long?)
3. Spread the Love (Mallow's so sappy :)
4. Bump Love
5. Love Bumps

Also, there are now about 97 artists in rotation for our bump runs. At one bump a day that's a bump per artist once every 3 months or so. I had received a suggestion to do 3 SL artists per day in one morning bump bomb notice. (The latest thought on this is to do TWO SL artists in one notecard plus one sibling posting all three to my profile picks on my profile.) Thoughts?

HOW WE CHOOSE THE ARTIST AND SONG (SUBJECT TO CHANGE):
From each artist in SL 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.

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 135 group members and growing. We're tracing over 95 artists who have accounts in SL. It's nice to have you along for the ride :)

NEW ARTIST NOTE:
New artists will remain on the "todo" list until they join our in-world group. I am not putting them into rotation until they join. I realize that there is a limit to the number of groups that we can join and that is a big pain for all. However, I've had too many artists contact me to ask to get into rotation AFTER they've already been bumped by the group.

NOTE ON GROUP NOTICES:
Artists - please, please, please do NOT use the 61 group for live show announcements :) Use group chat for that. Notices should be for thanking fans, alerting us about new songs you've posted and other on-topic information about your web based 61 accounts. If you could also try to keep it to like one notice per week that would be swell :)
