Two full years of #wedraaiendoor

It's been 2 years since Anne and I were chatting. She was posting associations from music and I really wanted to join in.  She was so kind to join in on my idea to pingpong our musical associations from one to another in order to challenge us to a wider range of music.  

Since that moment we've had so much fun together, brainstorming wildly on each other's music choices. We send them back and forth in a chat, and we often run months ahead of each other since we are unstoppable. I must honestly admit that we are currently both enjoying a long summer break since we had run 3 months ahead already.  

It's also fun to really look back on our series and see all associations we made on each other's music. I had a first flashback a year ago, which you can read here.  So now you can see which songs we have chosen in the subsequent 12 months:

Some statistics: 
- 24% female performers and 76% male performers or mixed bands
- 14% Belgian artists, 5% Dutch, 2% German , 2% Italian, 2% French but most of the songs are clearly English/American
- There was only one song in French , 8 in Dutch, 2 in Italian and 2 in German. 
- David Bowie must be our shared favourite with 4 posts in 2 years, followed by Sting/the Police with also 4 posts.  Also, Prince and Billy Joel have been featured more than once.  But most of the time we attempt to find new music, alternation of styles etc.
