Need ten hours of Darth Vader's mechano-asthmatic wheeze? Look no further, for Murdock129's YouTube video has the soundtrack for your days.

10 Hours of Darth Vader Breathing (via IO9)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

    I knew he’d be winded from all that unicycling and bagpiping.

       coffee out nose… XD

  • sagodjur

    This isn’t so bad compared to other videos by the same person. Look at the YouTube channel. It’s like a toolkit for people who want to lock someone in a room and conduct auditory torture. 10 hours of Power Rangers?!? I’ll talk! I swear! I’ll tell you everything I know!

    • Chuck

       Yeah — I was about to ask if this was being used for enhanced interrogations at Guantanamo.

      “What’choo talkin’ bout… Willis?”  XD

    Certainly besting Warhol’s 8 hour, Empire State building film (1964) but with a sound track and a couple of extra hours – for those of us with more patience :)

    • Clemoh

      Andy would be proud.

  • waetherman

    This is very handy if you have a baby clone trooper that you need to get to sleep at night; they find this sound very soothing.

    • awjt

       Exactly. There IS a use for this thing.  I was thinking of scaring my brother.  Set it up on his screen, and then whenever he gets back, it’s there, rather quietly wheezing at him.  Should scare the shit out of him!

  • MB44

    I just put this on my ipod and plan on listening to it all day. Masterful.

    • NI MEN HAO-DY TRAMPOLINA

       I think I could fall asleep to it…

  • irksome

    Too soon, too soon.

    5 hours in and still I’m wondering “What happen’s next?”

  • Andrew Tubbiolo

    Put this stuff on your electronics for use in yesterday’s article on fallout shelter life.

    This is partly explained by the 10 hour meme
    http://hiphopo.posterous.com/internet-meme-watch-10-hours-and-800-slower-o

    though this actually almost makes sense to loop for 10 hours. unlike “they’re taking the hobbits to isengard” which is still messing with my head.

    Better than the prequel trilogy.

    My Dinner With Anakin

  • TwilightNewsSite

    Hoping for 10 hours of “Get Pitted!” or “Willy Wonka You Get Nothing Remix.”

  • disillusion

    Personally I like this one more

       GAH!

    This post inspired this conversation:

  • Mantissa128

    I had it on while I was making dinner. It’s extraordinarily relaxing! I think this is my new meditation background sound.

    Without the booming voice of James Earl Jones, it’s like… aww, he’s sleeping!

    • BombBlastLightingWaltz

      there is a hitch in the loop, makes it sound like a chicken bone is catch of a tic…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EP2SEPYCCZMRYIAERCXDLFIRWM AnthonyI

    Anyone watch the whole thing?

  • http://thriftfu.wordpress.com License Farm

    Eh, I preferred the Enterprise’s ambient noise. But I have had this on for 20 minutes. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go meditate in my black Sith egg from Planet Ork.

    • BombBlastLightingWaltz

      nanu nanu. Seth Mork.

    This is pretty much every night if you have sleep apnea.

    Murdock129 here, I’m amazed by how this has spread, I really just make these for a laugh, and I’m shocked to find sites like this, comedy central and more covering this
