only humans sleep on their backs

oh, my lovely. not since the counting crows – i stand by my love for august and everything after – has an artist fallen so far, so fast. what happened? did ya get into the drugs? it was the drugs wasn’t it? just give me a name, baby! i’ll take care of this. hold up! aren’t they supposed to make ya all more creative and exponentially cooler for doing so? shit, at least adam duritz had a solid excuse, he started participating in rampant forms of douchebaggery. i’m just makin up the whole drugs thing. its just a random, easy guess. but seriously, i cant stomach to see you fall much farther into oblivion. you got the goods girl, you do. just stop fuckin round. ok?

maybe its just me, but her voice is not sounding as strong as it once did. in fact i can barely understand her at times. it may be that my ears are tired and cant handle her heavy english brogue at the moment. yeah, thats it. sure… here she is in camden, nj on 7.11.08.

    what the hell…it crushes me too. her voice may have single handed-ly guided me through adolescence.

    i hear ya matt. her voice single handedly helped me get laid at least once, that and a bunch of old style. she was a cheap date, and still is.

    ha! you were hanging around the right girls. the only time music did that for me it was kim gordon and some red dog.

    I will always love my Beth.

    maybe Jim O’Rourke messed her up ?

    Beth is currently in pre production of her follow up album to “Comfort Of Strangers”, the album is expected to be released in the winter of 2008
