 WEEZER's eighth studio album 'Hurley' is now in-stores! The first single 'Memories' features the cast of 'Jackass' on back-up vocals - and the song will be used in trailers and the ending credits for the upcoming film ‘Jackass 3D’. Jorge Garcia - also known as Hurley of TV show 'Lost' - talked to MTV about how exactly he came to be the face of Weezer's new album: "I went to do the George Lopez show ['Lopez Tonight'], and I think they were doing two or three shows that night, and [Weezer frontman] Rivers [Cuomo] was a guest in the previous show. So they came and knocked on my door and said, 'Hi,' and wanted to get a picture with me, and I thought that was awesome. We chatted briefly, and that was it. And I didn't hear until a couple months later that they wanted to put me on the cover ... I didn't realize it was just going to be that same picture we took together, cropped down to my face. When I look at the picture, I notice that there's something going on with my hair, like it's starting to come loose or something. But I'm happy with it." Garcia added that: "This is really close to the top, for sure. I think the ['Lost'] action figure still kind of trumps it, but just coming from where I come from, it's extremely special and dear to my heart that this is actually happening."
