Playlist: When New Is All That Will Do

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.

My brain craves new music constantly. Sure, I listen to plenty of old favorites too. However, sometimes I just need something I haven’t heard before. That’s why, when watching We’re the Millers, I had to Shazam a song I heard during the movie. Turns out, it was ZZ Ward “Put the Gun Down.” I listened to her newest album and liked a lot of what I heard. I took to Spotify to find some more new stuff that sounded like it. Granted, some of the songs aren’t new to me. They just fit well in the playlist. While you’re at work this week, think about the new you need to refresh what you’re doing.

- “Put the Gun Down” – ZZ Ward

- “My Oh My” – Tristan Prettyman
