We've seen quite a bit of fun tributes over the past few years to ABC's landmark show "Lost", but Weezer may have finally found a way to top all of them.
The popular band, whose upcoming album "Hurley" is set to hit stores September 14, decided that the perfect album cover for their CD was a smiling picture of actor Jorge Garcia.
Frontman Rivers Cuomo had this to say to Spinner about the decision to make Garcia such an integral part of the album's history:
"We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album: 'Heavy Mental,' 'Smaller Than Life.' I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."
"Lost" guru Damon Lindelof also had this to say about the cover on Twitter:
"New Weezer album title had to be a coincidence. Then I saw the cover. So. Damn. AWESOME."
The irony in all of this is that Cuomo is only two seasons into the show, even if he proclaims to be quite the fan.

I swear I've seen this article before...
I love Hurley and Weezer.
Weezer isn't sticking with their trend of making albums with just colors?
This is just pure awesomeness (I know that isn't a word but when it comes to Lost, there are no words that can describe just how amazing it is). I'll be buying this album just to add it to my Lost collection.
Hurley is so cute. I want to be Mrs. Hurley,
Got something to say?
