Playlist: Coachella From the Top, Down

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.

As I write this, Coachella weekend one is hours from beginning. It is breaking my heart to know I will not be there this year. Last week, I started from the bottom of the bill and worked my up. This week I’m working from the top, down…because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment and just can’t help thinking about Coachella. Why else would I do this to myself? Oh, because I get to listen to a bunch of music I like anyway? OK OK. If anyone reads this and likes the playlist so much that they want to donate a Coachella weekend two ticket to me, that’s totally fine.
