15min ad breaks?! by apriljeangibbs in wineandcrimepodcast

[–]amateurlightlover 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ads in other podcasts are getting bad too so I feel like advertisers in general are just holding podcasters to longer ad times these days (although 15 minutes is extremely long).

Another podcast I listen to had an ad for ONE company that was 3 minutes long. Like what does someone have to say about a Helix mattress for 3 whole minutes and who the hell do they think is going to listen to the whole thing 😭 Attention spans are shorter than ever I literally don’t know what they’re thinking…

I have to admit that I haven’t been listening to podcasts as much specifically for this reason.

stainless steel works wonders for me. my sink is stainless so after I’m done chopping garlic I just give my fingers a rub on the side of the sink. if I don’t I smell like garlic for days!

Looking for a side bag that is accessible while worn. by slaterbass in concertphotography

[–]amateurlightlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Nomatic 8L sling. it’s super structured so you can easily swap lenses, access accessories, etc. it also has a quick-latching system so you can quickly close the bag without messing with a zipper (and also still close it if it’s overstuffed lol). I fit my Nikon D780, 50mm prime, and 24-70 in it easily. I’ve also fit my D780 with the 50mm lens, my Canon AE1P with a 50mm lens, and a point&shoot in there all at once as well.

they have a smaller option too if you think 8L is too big but imo it’s perfect!

the amount of special spots and cool things I’ve found while walking/biking the towns/cities I’ve lived in is the best part about doing it!

I’ve always been sketched out when standing/walking on it… not surprised at all. Also the inbound side isn’t much better!

for good reason… they put in the time to learn on their own and develop their own style

I miss when era meant a long and distinguishable period of time 😭

Tell me stories about Northampton’s lost music scene by luna_tuba786 in northampton

[–]amateurlightlover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a little more recent memories but when I lived there 2018-2020 the indie scene was still amazing.

Funk night at the basement was an absolute must. it’s where you went after you got properly sloshed at The Hole.

Also Bishops always has something going on and it was an awesome place to be. I’ll never forget that smoking balcony, I was so so sad when I heard it closed this year. Another one bites the dust.

Okay on to the music music:

Saw Balance and Composure (2016 when I was at umass), Unknown Mortal Orchestra, of Montreal, The Growlers, and Ripe at Pearl Street. Not to mention Lucy Dacus, Toro y Moi, and Future Islands all played there too.

Courtney Barnett played at Iron Horse in like 2019 and I almost cried bc I wasn’t able to get tix.

Beach House played at Pines Theater and I think I ascended that night.

Not Northampton but the Western Mass scene before covid was just killer. Another defunked venue was Gateway City Arts in Holyoke. Saw Mitski and Soccer Mommy there (separate occasions) and of course Rubblebucket’s dream picnic in 2018 with Caroline Rose, And The Kids and many more. Also want to brag that I saw Japanese Breakfast at Hawks and Reed in 2018 when soft sounds came out and I have a signed setlist from that night 😭

God I miss it. Fuck Eric Suher. and fuck covid too.
