CRAOLA Playlist on Be Street (2 of 2)

“If my early 20′s self were asked to put together a top 10 playlist, out of my insecurities, I would probably just stick to one genre’ with the misguided belief that by hiding my real taste in music, my peers wouldn’t make fun of me. If I look back, I was deeply into hip-hop through the 80s- to the beginning of the 90′s then made a hard turn to Punk and Rock in about 91-92 and just sat there for a while. The older I have gotten and the more I sit in front of a canvas and sample music in the background, I am completely all over the place with no more boundaries or genre´ loyalties, so here is a mis-shapen list of some songs that I enjoy driving to or painting and drawing to.”

CRAOLA Playlist on Be Street (1 of 2)

“I haven’t been this excited to share something since “Show and Tell” In Kindergarden. So here goes and I think you will find that each song was selected for it’s ability to inspire as you pack your backpack with paint for a day at the wall. I have assembled these gems from the least greatest to shining star, however I think you will agree that each one deserves to be at the top of some list.”  HAHAHAHA
