King Thor and his internet connection have been arguing lately. It is believed that this is due to the FBI’s wiretapping the line after the release of the first book. Please stand by with us through these technical difficulties, if necessary, King Thor has aligned himself with several militants and prophets that will continue the stories and teachings of the Republic of Thoronia. Plans and situations have been set forth to ensure that the Republic of Thoronia — no matter what happens to King Thor, will never die.

September 5th, 2008 will mark the first day and opening party for the Republic of Thoronia Artifacts Exhibit. The Exhibit, which will feature artists from around the world, is a collaborative look at the histories and teachings of the Good King Thor. More details to come soon, with samples of many of the artifacts as we get closer to the date. If anyone has been working on RoT related paraphenilia, let me know and we’ll get you an access card for the first day. Currently we have six artists contributing in a variety of formats, with hopes and anticipation swelling for: a plush doll, photos, silk screened shirts, felt CD and book sleeves, paintings, letterpress, pen and ink and more!

So, just a tiny, little announcement, The Good and venerable King Thor will be participating in a group art show at Skinny Squirrel Gallery this coming Friday. The show is all bike-centric and what not. Here is the strange piece of “art” that King Thor produced in a frenzy of “creativity.” (Quotations denoting King Thor’s actual non-abilty at creating art-works). Anyway, anyone that wants to buy this sucker is more than welcome, ($20?) and the money will be donated to Lilly Collier.

I’ve heard from one person who was having problems with the .zip of the full album, so I’ve uploaded a .rar as well. Get it here.
We weren’t able to actually distiguish why he was running into problems. Which is why I’m just addressing it by uploading another format. The .zip worked fine for me, as well as for others, so who knows really?
Let me know if you’re having any other types of problems or weirdness on the downloads… other than them being slow — I don’t want to about hear that.
The .zip file has just reached the 50 downloaded mark. That doesn’t really sound like much, but it’s certainly more copies of the album in more people’s hands then ANYTHING My Calculus ever put out (I still have 200 records in my closet… anyone want one? Four? Ten?). Be sure to tell your friends, associates, anyone who you think might be interested in what the RoT has to offer. I mean, it’s free. How can you go wrong? ALSO! At the next RoT show, hard copies of the album will be available for free. Yes, free. They will be packaged in limited edition felt covers. When is the next show? I dunno. We may have t-shirts available for free as well. But the t-shirts aren’t anything too special, I mean you can make one yourself, just get a paint roller, some t-shirt silk screen ink, an old t-shirt and download this file. Print/copy it on a piece of mylar. Cut out the stencil, roll out the paint, stick your shirt in the oven for a minute and you’ll be good to go.

For all of you who love to remix (maybe what, one, two people?) the Republic of Thoronia Episode 1 album is now ready to be remixed and chopped and screwed and etcetera by all of you. You know its kind of like what that one band did… what were they called? Dismemberment Plan. What were you thinking? Radiohead? No they ripped it off from DP. Anyway, only four tracks available now. If you want more, let me know. They are being uploaded at this moment, so if you try to download them this instant (09:45 AM MTN) then you’ll just get an error. Enough babble…
