Waiting for first review apparently... and there's another listening party in the Arts Club in London tomorrow, according to the Pit thread. London England that is.

No idea. Invitations passed out very locally I'd imagine.

Europe's taste in music generally sucks, so it was a good move.

While I have no idea how SBM goes (just like everything else on Uke Songs), I'm sure it's going to be much worse on LB.

Every time I see SBM, I read "single bowel movement." The song's already ruined for me.

What are the chances of all three listening parties giving negative reactions to Sleeping By Myself causing them to replace it last minute on the track list???? It genuinely sounds like the biggest WtF part of the album from the reviews I've read, and rightfully so, I mean serious what the fuck man?
