i shant be a-typin' out the whole thang, but here's the 'relevant' part of a
review of aussies the church's appearance last sunday at boston's paradise
club from today's BOSTON GLOBE, as writ by the dreaded jim sullivan, bearing
the title "rarely letting loose, church lulls its flock"

"...the set climaxed with neil young's 'cortez the killer', with its crashing
crescendos, and HAWKWIND's 'SILVER MACHINE', a careening space-rock and sound
effects boogie in which kilbey and co. shed the introspective aura for good
and jumped upon that silver machine, phasers set on stun".
=========
used to be a 'boogie' had a stricter definition, once epitomized by canned
heat by way of john lee hooker, but no more. by the older definition, "orgone
accumulator" was a 'boogie', "la grange" was a 'boogie' (same primary chords
for those two, A-C-D) but "silver machine" was not. "silver machine" was 'a
rocker in the chuck berry tradition'.

but, y'know, now it's only semantics, and that is all....
and having boogied, moves on
