The boys in Weezer are back with Hurley, which is said to be named after Jorge Garcia’s Lost character, Hugo “Hurley” Reyes. The actor reportedly said being featured on the cover of the album was a big honor, explaining, "Just coming from where I come from, it's extremely special and dear to my heart that this is actually happening." Hurley is being tagged as Weezer’s “punk” album, and is the first album they’ve released on an indie album after 16 years on a major label.

Linkin Park Releases App With New Song!
Posted on Apr 26, 2010 @ 04:09PM - Add a comment
Linkin Park Monday announced the launch of their new app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion.
Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion provides a heightened app experience for music fans and gamers alike, with multi-player features in an epic adventure taking them through six unique levels in the game, each featuring the unique style of a band member.
The goal is to retrieve the band’s stolen music track called Blackbirds (which happens to be a brand new, unreleased Linkin Park song made exclusively for the game). Once all missions inside the game are completed, Blackbirds is unlocked.
Rufus Wainwright, Stripped Down:
“As opposed to putting together an app featuring just our songs and name, we wanted to make this an exciting gaming and music experience and the folks at Artificial Life shared that vision,” band member Mike Shinoda said. “They were able to turn my sketches and our creative ideas into a living, breathing world that we think gamers and fans will thoroughly enjoy.”
Witty Kitty App
The Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad is available for $4.99 on itunes.com.

Looks like fans at Monday night's Los Angeles premiere of Transformers 2 got more of a thrill than Megan Fox's latest red carpet gown.
Linkin Park announced, outside of Mann's Village in the Westwood area of LA, that they would be performing a full concert after the action flick's screening.
Immediately following the parade of sexy stars like Fox, Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel into the theater, crew began assembling a band riser and barricading the streets surrounding.
The group collaborated with producers and director Michael Bay for the anticipated soundtrack's sequel, and even wound up collaborating with composer Hans Zimmer on several of the flick's themes.
