Hurley: Difference between revisions

[[Karl Koch]] recalled the process during a chat with members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]] over the video conferencing platform ''Zoom'' in June of [[2020]]. According to Koch, the clothing deal with the company Hurley was already in the works when the album was being worked on, adding:

<blockquote>They did a show and [Jorge Garcia] from ''Lost'' was there, and they got a photo backstage with him because he was a big, huge fan, and Rivers fell in love with the photo of [Jorge], who obviously plays the character Hurley. I think it was probably on their plane ride home that night when they were all discussing how crazy all that was, and that subject of "What's are we calling this album? What is the artwork gonna be?" And Rivers just took a look at that photo and he laughed and, because this thing with the clothing had been happening, he said "How about we call it Hurley?" and showed this photo, and it basically was that! There was all this talk about Hurley, Hurley, Hurley, and then we ''meet'' Hurley. He just loved that picture of how he was so happy and smiling and was like, "Just put him on the cover, we'll call it Hurley!" And that was bound to create backlash, because it's like "Ohh, Hurley's sponsoring the album!" It's like, actually no, the band paid for all the recording, Epitaph put it out and distributed it, and they happened to have a collaboration with Hurley at the same time, and they met [Jorge] coincidentally...and he [Rivers] knew that was gonna drive people crazy. It was like his first real troll, and it worked! It's still confusing to people ten years later!</blockquote>
