Have a Seat...

In Zangermarsh (in retrospect, I think this is supposed to be a bed)

If Bane were an animal, what would he be?

When all these videos are watched...you have my permission to leave.

Floor Faces

I realized I haven't been at my abstract photography in awhile, so I thought I'd take a couple of pictures of my bathroom floor that I thought I could make something of.

I saw hints of a face here, so I used Photoshop's paint bucket tool to fill in what lines I could, then I used the pencil to fill in the lines. 



 When I started filling in the lines here, at first I was picturing a vulture's head, but as I was connecting the segments, I realized it could also be a vole eating something.

More Tolkien Numbers

Here's the best versions I could find of "The Misty Mountains" and other Tolkien songs.

A pretty good A Capella version; I understand why they didn't use the whole song in the movie, but it's still a shame we didn't hear the whole thing.


An Ocarina version


A deeper bass version; took a bit of getting used to, but I like it overall.


What they might have done if they extended the movie version.



A follow-up to the previous one, with verses from The Fellowship of the Ring (the book, not the movie).


Another version of Song of the Lonely Mountain, the number sung by Neil Finn in the closing credits of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, not written by Tolkien, but based on "Misty Mountains".



The "Song of Durin" from the book Fellowship of the Ring,


All the verses of "Misty Mountain", done by a woman

The Hobbit Cartoon Soundtrack

I spent New Year's Eve with a couple of friends watching the Special Edition The Hobbit parts 1 & 2.

One of my favorite parts is the dwarves' song Misty Mountains. I've been on the lookout for artists that really justice to the songs from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and over the next week or so I'll be posting the best I find. This week we have the soundtrack from the animated Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit. It's not on iTunes, and as far as I know it was only ever released on vinyl. I imagine this person has a record and recorded it digitally from there.

Enjoy!
