Earlier today, Weezer premiered the artwork for Hurley, further immortalizing one of the characters from ABC's hit TV show Lost.

Hurley is not only named for Lost character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, but its artwork features a grinning photo of actor Jorge Garcia, aka Hurley himself, cropped from a candid photograph of the Lost star posing with Cuomo.

"As usual, 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," Cuomo explains.

"But ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I met and took a photo with Jorge Garcia who was Hurley from Lost, he just has this amazing vibe and his expression in that photo seemed so right, so we just call it Hurley."

That just brought a smile to my face. It's very cool. I read in another article that the one of the Weezer guys had never seen Lost until after they decided to name the CD Hurley and is currently on season 2.
