Fingertips is taking a late winter vacation. There will be no "This Week's Finds" this week. The home office will be shut down through February 28. "This Week's Finds" will return on Monday March 2 (or, okay, maybe Tuesday March 3). For those who would like some new music, albeit without the usual commentary, here are links to five songs I've been listening closely in recent days (or, in some cases, weeks). Any one of these may yet end up featured with a review, but you can take a listen in advance and see how they strike you: [...]
While Sarah Borges ' name (and music) is no stranger to this site, Rich from Modern Acoustic was kind enough to share his thoughts on her new album, The Stars Are Out , which is due out next month (and which I have yet to have the pleasure of listening to). For those of you who haven't checked out Modern Acoustic, it's an e-zine that Rich puts out quasi-semi-periodically when the mood hits him which covers everything from [...]
The Stars Are Out by Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles will be released on March 24th. The band's previous album Diamonds in the Dark was one of my favorites of 2007 , and witnessing their wonderfully raucous Mountain Stage set made me love their music even more. So I was disappointed to read (both on other blogs and the album's press release) that The Stars Are Out languishes in a restrained "indie-rock" sound. The best thing Borges and her band had going for them was their high energy country-rock quake, and [...]
Boston singer-songwriter Sarah Borges and her band the Broken Singles, have a new record coming out on March 24, 2009. This will be her third studio album and it will be called The Stars Are Out . She has a style reminiscent of Neko Case, Kathleen Edwards and Sheryl Crow, among others. In December, she was named "Local Female Vocalist of the Year" at the 2008 Boston Music Awards, the second time she's won this award. The first single off the new album is called "Do It [...]

I was impressed by and wrote about the last Sarah Borges record. It was fairly straight forward and slightly on the raw side which I liked. I didn't think she had an outstanding voice or the best songs. But I respected her ballsy presentation of a guitar wielding woman fronted band. The promise from that last record doesn't seem to have been played out on her latest. The new record is called The Stars Are Out and is due out March 24 on Sugarhill Records . Perhaps I'm having [...]

Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles are a band from Bean Town that sound like they should be from Cow Town. Her album "Diamonds in the Dark" came out about a month ago. Her music sounds to me like a melding of 80s girl bands and the best of alt-country. Listen: The Day We Met Belle of the Bar False Eyelashes RIYL: Go-Gos, Bangles, or any other party girl band from the 80s Bonus song that has a similar vibe [...]
Diamonds In The Dark was released on June 12th by Vanguard Records. The music on the disc could be branded with many labels, but I'll call it pop-rockabilly. There are catchy pop melodies mixed with... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
In true Rufus Thomas style I listen to most of my music whilst walking the dog. A sure sign that I like something is that my gait will change from a trudge to a bounce, my fingers will start clicking and, just occasionally, I will start singing along. The poor dog does not know where to look. I've just returned from my evening stroll around the Yorkshire badlands and the sound of Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles has had just such an effect. When your own website identifies your influences as including the likes of [...]
