The Triffids, Calenture, 1987 on Island Records
This was actually the fourth LP for the Australian alt-rock (post-punk?) band The Triffids, but likely their best known to US audiences (like me). The literary-ness of being named after The Day of the Triffids and using (and defining on the sleeve – this was well before google) a word like Calenture appeared to the precocious teen me:
Calenture: Tropical fever or delirium suffered by sailors after long periods away from land, who imagine the seas to be green fields and desire to leap into them
At this point The Triffids were David McComb, Robert McComb, Alsy MacDonald, Graham Lee, Martyn Casey, and Jill Birt, with production credits spread across Adam Peters, David McComb, Gil Norton, and Craig Leon.

I've lived in a few places now and so knowing quite where #MyLand is, is becoming hazy. #JukeboxFridayNight
//The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
At the wide open road// -
Often, on one of the first seriously hot days of summer I listen to the album #BornSandyDevotional by #TheTriffids
It's not quite a tradition, but very close to it. -
This one for the road between my childhood and adulthood. I always think its about the #Nullarbor. The term being Latin and yes folks a mate of mine managed to reverse his car into a tree whilst crossing. He was a high achiever in such things.
#JukeboxFridayNight #SoundsOfHome
Well, the drums rolled off in my forehead
And the guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby just for you
Crying in the wilderness -

Oooh yeah.
60s -70s #Perth urban post-beach wear finally gets to haute couture.
And ignore the wowsers who claim, "If you can't see the water, they're underwear" and get those racing bathers / budgie smugglers back onto the #HayStMall.
This is the sort of ethnic wear that led to #TheTriffids.
Hear the absence of meaning, direction and purpose in the following? -
A sunburned contribution for #AStoryTold #JukeboxFridayNight
I wake up in the morning
Thinking I'm still by your side (it's a wide open road)
I reach out just to touch you (it's a wide open road )
(Then I realize) it's a wide open roadEspecially tuned-in to long road trips in WA.
