This week I will be joining a few members of the Benchmark team at our booth at the Small Business Expo in New York. We were at the one in Los Angeles and had a ton of fun. This time around, it will be a whirlwind trip for us. We’ll be in New York for less than 24 hours total. That means a lot of being on a plane in a short amount of time. I downloaded a couple of movies to watch on the plane, but I know my attention span probably won’t allow for me to get through both movies in a row. There will be plenty of listening to music (and I might even socialize with my coworkers too). So, here is the Benchmark 5: New Albums to Listen to This Spring … and Beyond!

  1. Youngblood Hawke – Wake Up
  2. Daft Punk – Random Access Memories
  3. Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City
  4. Phoenix – Bankrupt!
  5. The Great Gatsby OST – Music from Baz Luhrmann’s Film The Great Gatsby

by Andy Shore

Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.
