THE NOTELINE - That's Life
A sad one to start the close of day with this one . . . . posted only nine days ago do we know this or this guys (band?)
Sometimes walking away is the only way to save your heart. "That's Life" is a minimalist acoustic indie-soul ballad for the mature heartbreaks—the ones where you aren't angry, just exhausted, and realizing that sometimes the good ones simply have to end.
THE NOTELINE - That's Life
🎵 Genre: Indie-Soul / Acoustic R&B
🎧 Music production by The Noteline
🎵 Listen to the rest of the journey:

Another gem from Kelly Boesch and this one struck me by the rendering gof people the skin tones and the flesh the quality of the materials used to ‘dress’ her imaginations! May have missed this one before . . . . . .
Kelly says: I had a blast making this video. #VEO3 does modern dance so well. #Midjourney kills it with the scenes and art. Using my style ref code gives these images so much cool detail. I want to paint some of these paintings. The song is called Play It Late, Play It Loud, this is only the partial song. The full song will be out shortly on streaming and Bandcamp. Song made using #suno and lyrics by Kelly Boesch.
Ready for a new year and a new outlook. Hope and positivity
Kelly Boesch - Play It Late

Tonight Kelly said: I was playing around with some fashion tonight hanging in my room in London. Having the best time here. Went out shopping today and was looking for a fun blouse. Couldn’t find anything I loved. Tried some textures and patterns for fun. Really love some of these. I was trying to get some fuller sized models. There is a mix here. They are getting better. I have to be very specific. The song is called This Tiny World. It’s been out for a while.
This Tiny World
[Verse 1]
Do we truly see what we hold?
It’s easy to get lost in the noise
Can we open our hearts to each other?
Just one life
Just one spark
Isn’t it beautiful?
[Chorus]
This tiny world
Floating in the silence of the dark
We hold this tiny world
A precious light inside the stars
This tiny world
[Verse 2]
Time to pause and breathe it in
Feel the sunlight on your skin
Step outside and feel the life
Just one life
Just one spark
Isn’t it beautiful?
[Bridge]
Spinning in the deep blue night
There is no place to hide from sight
It’s fragile and it’s all we know
We have to love it, help it grow
[Chorus]
This tiny world
Floating in the silence of the dark
We hold this tiny world
A precious light inside the stars
This tiny world
[Outro]
Just one life
Just one spark
This tiny world
Kelly says:
I love when I am playing around with images and get some fashion that I absolutely love. These were made using Midjourney V8.1. Just stunning. There is so much to look at here. The colors, the patterns, the accessories. It’s my new couture line 
. The song is one of mine that has been out a while called Saffron and Smoke. It’s on my latest album too.

Chris Hillman - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-8-1975 | Albums That Should Exist
Chris Hillman - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-8-1975
This concert found Hillman at an interesting point in his career, just starting a true solo career. Up until then, he had been in a surprising number of bands. He was a founding member of the Byrds in the 1960s. Then he was one of the leaders of the Flying Burrito Bros. from 1969 to 1972. After that, he joined Manassas, led by Stephen Stills, from 1972 to 1973. In 1973, he took part in a Byrds reunion that resulted in one album. Then in 1974, he became part of the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, a trio consisting of J.D. Souther, himself, and Richie Furay. They put out two albums, but broke up in 1975.
I checked, and it looks like the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band didn't break up until 1976. However, it also looks like they barely toured at all in 1975 and 1976. I only saw evidence of two concerts. Their second album, released in 1975, was badly received. So it looks like the members were already going their own way. Hillman would release his first true solo album, "Slippin' Away," in 1976. I checked setlist.com, a concert database. It says he performed 16 concerts in 1975, and this one was the very first. If that's true, this concert may have been the very start of his solo career.
However, that meant he hadn't much time to write songs for his own album. Only two songs here, "Down in the Churchyard" and "Blue Morning," would appear on the "Slippin' Away" album. The rest are from his time with the Byrds (tracks 7 and 24), the Flying Burrito Bros. (tracks 4, 5, 7, and 21), Manassas (track 13), and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band (tracks 1, 8, and 11). It seems there actually were one or more songs at the end that didn't make the recording. There was a little bit of banter and tuning up right before the recording cut off. I got rid of that little bit. Having audience cheering fade out is a more satisfying way to end an album, in my opinion.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I love these Ebbets Field bootleg radio broadcasts due to the sound quality. A local company called Tuning Up recorded all of them, and did a better job than typical radio broadcasts from that era. But unfortunately, this concert doesn't sound good as most of them. Probably it's a copy of a copy, and so on, or something like that. However, I ran all the songs through a UVR5 program denoise filter, so at least the sound is better than it was before. I'm not saying this sounds bad; it's just it doesn't sound as good as most of the others I'm posting from this venue.
This album is 45 minutes long.

Visitors BC and Joan and The Sealyman hisself were talking a while ago now about how Chris Hillman was often overshadowed by others (Stephen Still and Manassas?) and how much they enjoyed his work and here is a solo set that warns it isn’t as good quality as others from the same series from Ebbet’s Field FM recordings but heck I didn’t notice - Hillman fans will love this!

SWAGGER & TENSION
VA - Marquee Nights, Guitar Swagger & Tension (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)
In 1977 Marquee Moon revealed a new kind of guitar language.
The recordings gathered here follow the path that language opened.
When “Marquee Moon” appeared in 1977 it quietly redrew the map for guitar-driven rock.
At a time when virtuosity often meant speed, density, and technical display,
the track by Television introduced another possibility. Its power comes from patience,
clarity, and the slow accumulation of tension.
Across more than ten minutes of Marquee Moon the music unfolds with unusual control.
Two guitars move around one another in long, deliberate phrases, sometimes mirroring a
melodic idea, sometimes drifting apart into counter lines that reshape the rhythm beneath them.
The playing is intricate, yet it never announces itself as technical showmanship. Instead,
it feels exploratory, like a conversation unfolding in real time.
What makes the performance distinctive is its sense of space.
Notes ring out cleanly, rhythms remain steady and restrained, and repetition becomes
a structural tool rather than a limitation. Small variations gather momentum until the
music reaches a quiet intensity. The effect is hypnotic without becoming indulgent,
precise without feeling rigid.
This balance between restraint and complexity forms the guiding idea behind this compilation.
The selections across its four discs trace artists who share the same musical instinct revealed
in “Marquee Moon”, guitars used as dialogue rather than spectacle, tension built through
repetition and interplay, and songs shaped by clarity rather than excess.
Some tracks anticipate this language, others emerge from the late-seventies moment
that surrounded it, while later recordings show how the approach continued to echo
through independent rock.
Across the box set the sequencing reinforces an aesthetic of restraint.
Each track presents a variation on the same language, clean tone, patient rhythm,
and guitars that converse rather than compete. The challenge lies not in playing more notes,
but in choosing fewer and letting them resonate.
Every phrase carries weight because nothing is wasted.
The collection reveals how a single recording suggested a different kind of guitar virtuosity.
Not louder, faster, or more elaborate,
but sharper, leaner, and driven by the charged space between two players.
(Butterboy)
