YouTuber “MrSolidSnake745″ decided to give old floppy drives a new lease on life as electronic musical instruments, using eight of them to perform the Doctor Who theme:

I don’t have two microphones of equal quality, so I recorded the left four and right four drives separately and pushed the audio to their respective side. I then recorded all eight and put it through a low pass filter and a small bass boost. I think the resulting mix of the three tracks sounds the best. It takes a lot more time to record and edit, but I thought it was worth it.

Have you ever taken the time after a movie to listen to an Arnold Schwarzenegger DVD commentary? Apparently you should because its far more entertaining than the film itself. It might be the most entertaining audio ever captured anywhere…ever. Take the commentary on Total Recall and Conan the Barbarian for example…

If you want your Star Wars obsession to carry over to your music player, consider this R2-D2 MP4 player, which will allow you to store roughly 500 songs on its 2GB of space, and comes equipped with button controls and C-3P0 headphones. That’s not much when compared to iPods and smartphones, but it’s pretty obvious that functionality isn’t really the point here.

The device is currently sold out on the Toys “R” Us website, but the product page also states that it is sold in stores.
