Can you say no to legally free new music?
Because I believe it's possible someone might not have heard of this yet, even though I've been posting the link like crazy. :D
Bolding was obviously done by me.

Happy Birthday
I've been recording a secret side project album with my long term co
writer and collaborator Robert Conley over the past 2 years. It was
finished and mixed in December last year and just last week the album
was mastered.
It's a band we call 'We Are Smug'. Robert and I share lead vocal and
songwriting duties on everything, and up until this second, we haven't
spoken a word of it to anyone outside of our circle of friends.
But today, on my birthday, we've decided it's release day and if you
visit http://www.wearesmug.com/ you can download it for free.
This is not the direction of my next album, nor is 'free' the new
price for my music. This is just something I am doing because I can.
While you're digesting this, I'm hard at work on songs for a brand new
studio album for next year. It's a big 'fuck off' pop record. POP
with a capital P if you will. You better have high expectations.
In the meantime, enjoy being Smug.
And Happy Birthday.

IDK, something about his voice just makes me so happy. :)
Also, if the next album is really going to include material co-written with Benny and Björn like he has hinted, I will probably die of happiness the day it comes out. I mean, first we get more X-files, then the dream team announces they are making the Hobbit, THEN the LOTR symphony comes to MY TOWN, and on top of that I'm supposed to handle a combination of BB+Darren? There's only so much a fangirl can handle! What's next? Someone finally announces that movie starring Cate Blanchett and Gillian Anderson?
