&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a while, we really got beaten down by corporate expectations, and as a result, I think we all just wanted to buck against that. It was like a creative straitjacket. Because when you’re signed to a record label, you have to run all your music through them, and they decide whether they will release it or not. After a while, you just want to scream, and hand them some really obscure, weird, obtuse, unmarketable music, but then of course they’d never release it. I think taking a hiatus was our reaction against that. We wanted to free ourselves of that straitjacket. Then, of course, years passed, and you start to feel creative again, and get excited about the notion of getting into a room with people you love, and making music.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saw Garbage last night in Atlantic City and OMG they’re so great. Amazing sound, great setlist (mostly from the first two albums), and Shirley is the sweetest rock star ever. So glad they’re back.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://emmarocks.net/post/23819213141</link><guid>http://emmarocks.net/post/23819213141</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 17:23:58 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>We’re feeling lazy.

Third, they’re cheap to build. What’s not to like? Did billboards disappear? Print ads? We were sold a barrel of goods when the banner first came out about direct tracking, ROI and whatnot. That future is dying. But the banner is still an impeccable branding vehicle. When an agency takes the time to craft banners with strong concepts that add real support, rather than slavishy mimic, a campaign, they work wonders for the money. They’re still the only truly broadcast ad medium on the Web.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rick Webb, &lt;a href="http://www.digiday.com/publishers/the-great-banner-ad-debate/" target="_blank"&gt;The Great Banner Ad Debate | Digiday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
