Sarah Borges – The Broken Singles and a Rockin’ Solo Career

01/12/23 • 32 min

Over the last couple decades, Sarah Borges has built a loyal following, playing live shows and releasing several albums. Her first record, Silver City, was praised by NPR’s David Dye for showcasing “an unusual knack for mixing alternative rock with country” She stays very busy writing, recording and touring – but in early 2020, Sarah, like many musicians, became isolated from concert halls and even recording studios. Missing that audience connection and camaraderie of working with other artists, she continued to write and record from home, singing vocals into her iPhone utilizing her clothes closet as a vocal isolation booth. Stay tuned to hear more about how that experience took shape in the form of her latest album, Together Alone. The track you’re hearing, “Wouldn’t Know You” is from that album. Welcome to Season Three of Frets.

Addicted to Noise – Michael Goldberg Returns

In the early days of the World Wide Web, former Rolling Stone senior writer and associate editor Michael Goldberg published an online music magazine. Addicted to Noise, or ATN was the first online magazine to include audio samples with new album reviews. The list of bands and artists interviewed include Neil Young, R.E.M., Patti Smith, Sonic Youth, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Paul Westerberg and Prince. Michael conducted many of the interviews but also enlisted music critics like Dave Marsh, Greil Marcus, Deborah Frost and NPR’s rock-and-roll historian Ed Ward, one of the founders of South by Southwest. Some guest columns and reviews were written by musicians themselves. Among the contributors were Joey Ramone, Lenny Kaye, David Was and Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker. Michael’s best interviews, essays and profiles not only from Addicted to Noise, but also from Esquire, Rolling Stone, DownBeat, Creem, New Musical Express and The San Francisco Chronicle are collected and available in his new book.
Music featured in this episode is by The Flamin’ Groovies. Michael Goldberg co-founded National Records, which released their album Rock Juice.

Adam Reichmann – from Sourpatch to Nadine to One Adam One

After moving from the Chicago suburbs to St. Louis in the late ’80s, Adam Reichmann met Todd Schnitzer at Washington University. Both were wanting to form a band. They did just that, and the two became an early version of what would become Nadine, a group that would not only get a lot of attention in the Midwest, but in Europe as well. Nadine received critical acclaim from major music publications after releasing some very fine records. Adam Reichmann continues to write and record solo. His new album, Where Do I Begin under the name One Adam One, was produced by none other than his long-time bandmate, Todd Schnitzer. I caught up with Adam for a great talk about bands, songwriting and of course...guitars.
