Last week Weezer announced that their next album Hurley would be out on September 14th. Yesterday they revealed the cover of the CD and it had Lost’s Hurley aka Jorge Garcia on the cover. Today they released the first single Memories from Hurley and I can’t wait until next month so I can get it! Seriously doesn’t that song stuck in your head like a good memory?
Rives Cuomo told Spinner magazine why he chose that picture of Jorge Garcia for the cover of Weezer’s upcoming CD, “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 we 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.” Who doesn’t love that face? And who doesn’t love this picture of Rivers with Jorge in Spinner magazine!
