History Lesson: Hallelujah

I'm pretty sure everyone has already heard this song, so I'm not gonna act like it's anything new.  I'm just using the opening ceremonies as an excuse to post one of my favorite songs of all time.  Orignally by Leonard Cohen, the song Hallelujah has been covered countless times, most recently by k.d. lang at the aforementioned opening ceremonies.  You may know it as "that song from Shrek".  My favorite version, however, definitely would have to be Jeff Buckley's haunting, emotional, and beautiful masterpiece of a cover.  Enjoy.

BONUS: This post kind of had to do with the Olympics, and so does this awesome new Nike commercial (the song is Ali in the Jungle by The Hours).

Also, this is my 69th post...ladies (shout out to winkdaddy.blogspot.com)

Something I Like: Journey

The Super Bowl is fast approaching, so I thought it only fitting to post this new Gatorade commercial, which is narrated by Common (also there hasn't been any new music today, so this was the best I could find). I'm a sucker for commercials, especially those with sweet montages. If you enjoy good commercials as well, check back on Monday for my favorite Super Bowl commercials.

BONUS- CHAD OCHOCINCO- I guarantee you'll like him after you watch this. I also strongly recommend YouTubing the entire last season of Hard Knocks, the beautifully shot football documentary from which this clip was taken.
