Season Finale: Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche 85

Kick The Jukebox

Kyle and Louie make some small talk over Scritti Politti's infectious, shimmering, danceable 1984 album Cupid & Psyche 85! On the surface, these tunes are some of the catchiest pop you've ever heard, but you actually need a PHD in literature to get all the lyrics. Join your favorite 20th century music geek buddies as they traverse the brilliant world of Scritti Politti's mastermind lyricist Green Gartside.

Show notes:

This was such a fun one to bring it on home! We've had an amazing season and we're really excited for our next season, which is going to follow a pretty cool arc. Get pumped, Jukeheads! We talked about a lot of great music to follow-up on this episode including keyboardist David Gamson's wild cover of The Archies' "Sugar Sugar," the track "Say A Little Prayer" by the immortal Aretha Franklin, and the earlier Scritti Politti album Songs to Remember. Once you give Cupid & Psyche 85 plenty of spins, Kyle recommends following up with Erasure's 1988 album The Innocents and I think it's time to do your own deep-dive into 80's Freestyle. We'll be back with some greatest hits episodes and a brand new season soon! - Louie
