I saw the trailer for the new Wuthering Heights and I’m afraid it’s Gatsby on the Moor, people.

Random memory that dates me 

Camper van Beethoven played at my college.
In the middle of one of their songs they seamlessly broke into a flawless rendition of Kashmir and I thought it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard
