What Are Words For?

A little over a year ago or so, I started a Tumblr page for no readily apparent reason other than abject boredom. Get Back to Work turned into a giant, vacuous, id-satiating timesuck that served no real practical purpose other than acting as a seldom-perused depository of images (everything from comic book covers to `Net memes to pictures of vintage New York City to old movie posters to favorite album sleeves and all points in between). I'd meant it to be sort of a companion site to Flaming Pablum, but I'm not sure it's really tackled that task. Get Back to Work has attracted a paltry 129 followers from the Tumblr community, but I figured that since I've slapped up loads of cool NYC pics in there (in between photographs of favorite musicians, flyers from long-ago hardcore shows at long-since-torn-down venues, stills from cult movies and the odd video clip), perhaps you -- the non-Tumblrite -- might enjoy it. There's precious little reading involved (giving you a much-needed break from my slavishly verbose, masturbatory prose), so let that be an incentive. It's junk-food for the eye. Go get it. Below are a few choice examples of what to expect.
