The Hobbit trailer hit last month (as most of you know!), and besides the stunning visuals and memorable character introductions, the two and a half minute video also featured some glorious bits of music – some familiar, some new.
If, like us, you too can’t wait until the official soundtrack for The Hobbit releases, here’s something to tide you over.
Dan from Germany alerted us to a YouTube video that he created. He writes:
It’s a little orchestral suite using the new musical themes from Howard Shore that were introduced in the trailer for the hobbit.
So, how is 2012 treating you so far? We’re just a few days into the year, but I bet more than a few of you are realizing while it may be ‘Hobbit year,’ we’re still a loooooooonnng way off from December. Sob.
Well, to help you mark the time between now and then, we asked TORn staffer magpie to design some desktop calendars for the TORn community. She rose to the challenge and created two wallpapers — one Bilbo, one Thorin — which we hope you all will love as much as we do. Please click through and choose the image best sized for your monitor. And enjoy!

Wellington is set to get a permanent organized Tolkien fan group thanks to Jack of the Noldor Blog.
He’s organized six “Wellymoots” over the past year, and the most recent one set plans in place to form a Wellington chapter of the Tolkien Society. It’s been long overdue. I’m late with this news, but thought it timely to post for Tolkien’s birthday here!
