'The Hobbit' is coming, Howard Shore's soundtrack is streaming now (Neil Finn is on there too)

Like all nerds and pretty much everyone, we’re excited for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The movie doesn’t hit theaters until December 13. but you can listen to the soundtrack to the film, which comes out on December 10, now. It’s streaming in full below.

Like The Lord If The Rings trilogy, The Hobbit was scored by Howard Shore who is also working on the next two Hobbit films in this trilogy. It also features a track by Crowded House’s Neil Finn with his sons Elroy and Liam, “Song of the Lonely Mountain,” which you can listen to over at Rolling Stone, that will play in the end credits. The movies are filmed in New Zealand where the Finns are from, so that’s a nice touch.

Meanwhile, speaking of Liam Finn, you can catch him in NYC this week at the previously discussed Glasslands show on Friday (11/16) with Reuben and the Dark. Tickets for that show are still available.
