Today's Google doodle reminds us that Ravi Shankar was born on this date in 1920. Shankar introduced George Harrison, and thus pop music, to the sitar. In addition to tracks from The Beatles, can you think of others that use the sitar? We'll spin a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows"

Traffic "Paper Sun"

The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black"

Thievery Corporation "Lebanese Blonde"

Red Hot Chili Papers "Behind the Sun"
