Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Please Kill Me rank high for me too. I remember the first time I heard Blank Generation: I couldn't listen to anything else for weeks. Just that album, over and over...
Are you familiar with Kharms?
Blank Generation is a special album for me too! Richard Hell is a genuinely foundational artist for my musical tastes, along with much of his NYC cohort. You know Blank Generation is going to be remarkable right out of the gate when you hear Hell wailing "Love comes in spurts! Oh, god... it hurts!"
I'm not familiar with Kharms, but a cursory search tells me that he checks a lot of boxes for what I like. Do you have any recommendations as to where I should start with him?
He wrote very short stories, so there's a complete collection available.
Excellent—thank you for the recommendation!
