The greatest song about feeling out of place from one of the greatest albums ever composed. Plus, it has a Winona Ryder reference, which makes it both weird and awesome.

From the best gig of the year. Hell probably the joint best gig ever.
I do in fact feel a bit like this at the moment. Probably on account of having to kill those aliens...
#womensweek It's fair to say that sci-fi is a boys' club, wherein women are seldom depicted as anything other than semi-clad sex objects or imperiled damsels. Thank the celluloid gods, then, for Sigourney Weaver's most famous role: a powerful, striking character with many memorable moments under her belt, though her finest hour came right at the start, before resurrections, severe haircuts and power loaders. As terrified, lost and alone as any human can be, she nevertheless formulated a plan, executed it, and rescued the ship's cat in the process. That is the mark of true heroism, and, Ellen Louise Ripley, we salute you.

Just when you think that you've heard everything and there is nothing, or no-one who will move you again, along comes @JohnGrant, and his song #SigourneyWeaver and his album #QueenofDenmark
