Albums of the month coming later, but its April Fools day. Which means the 2 hotbeds of pranks are up to their usual tricks, Google and OC Remix.
Google
Google have a long history of quality fake products on April 1st. However there are 2 this year, could one be real? First is Google TiSP. Simply flush the fibre optic cable down the toilet and bingo! Free wireless internet. Yeah. Then there's Gmail Paper. Go read Slashdot as I really can't describe it.

OCR
Its ReCapitated. 18 high-quality, yet unbelievably shit remixes of the Icecap theme from Sonic 3. Leading the charge is Remix OCR001565. Otherwise known as OCRAPRIL01. Its djpretzel's Love Hurts remix (from Sonic 1) with the Icecap theme layered on the top. Naturally, drama has erupted at the review level. Go and see, its hilarious as always.

Destructoid
Brian Crecente's Mildly Pirate Themed Hair Palace. Yep, the Destructoid blog has today transformed into a brilliant tribute to the Kotaku editor.

Think Geek
Oh boy, TG have really gone for it with a load of new products. Like the WiiHelm. A helmet to hold your Wiimote. Oh dear. Also the 8-bit tie. And the WiFi Donation alarm clock, which donates your money to charity if you sleep past the alarm.

Youtube
Oh yes, everyone's favourite website has gone for it too. Staff members reveal their innermost secrets, find out who's a Bollywood star, who's dating Nalts, who's Renneto's secret cousin and who turned Jewish to piss off her boyfriend's parents.

Buzzerblog
Has transformed into Litterblog for a day. Some people just don't put the effort in anymore.

VG Cats
Being a Sunday the office webcomics of CAD and Penny Arcade are unavailable. Scott Ramsoonair however has gone for it with Solid Snake's MySpace page.

That seems to be it, nothing from Wikipedia unfortunately. Though how they'd top last year I have no idea. Haven't seen BMW's thing either, though they always do something.
