Tonight's theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #SongsOfTheCosmos, in honour of #Matariki. First sighting of this star cluster (aka Pleiades) in mid-winter marks the beginning of the Māori new year. We did a theme based on outer space a while back, so this'll make a fine sequel. :)

My first choice tonight is a song that my partner introduced me to during the #RockAndRollDivas theme, because Gwen Stefani is in it. Here's SNL's Mafia Meeting, aka Space Pants:

Yes! #Santigold is the best. I also missed #JukeboxFridayNight but you’ve inspired me to share.

“Disparate Youth” might be my favorite song. This changes by the day, but still :)

Fun tidbit, all the characters on the album cover of “Master of My Make-Believe” are Santigold in different outfits.

Late Entry for #RockAndRollDivas #JukeboxFridayNight

Was too busy to post last night.

Loving LOVING #JukeboxFridayNight #rockandrolldivas - I’ve scrolled several and see a gaping hole with Florence and the Machine missing. Maybe ya’ll were waiting for me. Here we go, it’s difficult to pick. “Ship to Wreck” is here for you: https://youtu.be/B9v8jLBrvug.

Weekend's finally here, and I get to play #JukeboxFridayNight and today's theme: #RockAndRollDivas. Lone Justice only released two albums, and they were technically country rock, but that's still a sub-genre of Rock 'N Roll.

Also -- Maria McKee's voice is NUTS. I *love* it.

It’s closing in on evening here, so time for #FridayNightJukebox #RockAndRollDivas. Dolly isn’t exactly Rock and Roll, but she occasionally dabbles in and around the genre. I first heard about her cover of this when members of Zeppeljn were raving about what a great job she did with it.

Also, so far I haven't seen anyone post Mariah Carey, so here's Hero:

Some technical difficulties happened last night on my home server, so we had a few more queued up to put in and couldn't. But it's still Friday Night elsewhere in the world, so here's KLF with Justified and Ancient:

Last one for this week I think. This is a group I saw at a couple of festivals years back. It's a family group from Madagascar, and the two sisters who sing the vocals definitely have a diva thing going on, in the best way.

Is it finally time for some #RockAndRollDivas? This might be as close as I get today.

I heard this for the first time only a couple of months ago, thank to the magic of Mastodon. It doesn't quite displace the Gladys Knight version as my favourite, but it's pretty damn good.

Another #JukeboxFridayNight and another forerunner of later #RockAndRollDivas. Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, blues singer, sometime troublemaker, Memphis Minnie. And the route from her music to the beginnings of rock'n'roll are not hard to discern.

Still not rock and roll, but might be approaching diva status, as Judy Mowatt was one of Bob Marley's backing singers, as well as having a solo career.
