Google Doodle June 9, 2011
In honor of Les Paul’s birthday, Google created a playable guitar for its homepage on which you can record yourself!
Mashable listed their favorite recordings from today, as if we needed further proof that no one actually works at their jobs:
- 1. Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” is at the top of the heap, and not just because it’s Gaga. It’s a great rendition of a complicated song done by Leila Dossetto-Becker.
- 2. The Beatles’s “Hey Jude,” performed by Rosales.
- 3.Wanderchick brings us “Ode to Joy” in two parts: one and two. Serious skills!
- 4. Proving our point about this being a procrastination engine, Leslitab and her co-worker figured out how to play “Oh Suzanna!”
- 5.Refilljuarez was nostalgic for the last decade, so the band played “Adam’s Song” by Blink 182.
- 6.Cole Johnson tackles Sigur Ros’s “Takk Hoppipolla.”
- 7. The opening to The Beatles’s “Here Comes the Sun,” played beautifully by myurow.
I didn’t think anything could beat Martha Graham’s, but the recording feature is just over the top fantastic. But…Martha…
