Best of 3 im December – End of Season #28

With our Best of 3 we had our final Session of Season in December.

As Bionette is on her own again we got back to our usual routine.
We listened to all of the albums presented by the others, picked 5 from the others and assembled a playlist. So everyone got a playlist of 15 songs. The different playlists reflect our individual musical tastes. There were also some overlaps in this Best of 3, but no more than two songs.
The album Tremors by the British band The KVB scored the most points which are 106 in this season. A total of 6 songs from this album were played. 2nd place went to the Free Energy by Dummy. The song Soonish by Duzmmy scored a triple.
