78th Sibling Rivalry Bump
Pato's I Melt With You went from 82 / 36 to 129 / 53 while zero's Les suicides went from 18 / 17 to 71 / 44. Thanks folks - this is a much more respectable showing than we've been having recently. Perhaps the rain or other foul weather has driven a few bumpers back home from the beach? Haha :)
Today we revisit Spinning Mule (SL: Neil Morrison) whose song One Embrace is at 236 / 67
Today's sib song comes from... ME! Laurel Jackson's Are You is at 377 / 98 right now
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, so is Sally - 2 votes)
4. Bump Love
5. Love Bumps (3 votes)
6. Back Scratch Bump
7. Best of Both Worlds bumps (2 votes)
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. My latest thought goes like this: 2 SL artists, 1 Sib song per day. The group notice would contain a link to my blog entry with the links to the t61 songs. My t61 profile would have the three latest targets on the profile picks and a comment entry also simply pointing at my blog entry. I think this would save me time and effort while still remaining a fair way for everyone to get easy access to the links. I think I'll start this next week unless there are any objections - just IM me or leave a comment wall message on t61.

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 :)

That didn't last long lol. My other IP address got blocked too. They've deleted my account (again) and deleted all the posts I made (no surprise there really). They could avoid this by just answering my email. It makes no sense to me though as I've not used my artist account for ages. I seldom get time these days for the listening one. What a shame, I thought the 61 was a fresh look on music. Sadly, it's being policed by two monkeys in a bananna factory. Isn't it odd that they banned at least 2 Brits, and a 2 Europeans out of the 6? I'm glad they deleted my songs. I'm not going away quietly, but I have lost all respect and faith in that site. Make us a new one DOL! HAHA!
