Introducing Geronimo Jackson

Been a "Lost" fan for a few years now. Definitely one of my favorite offerings from Dr. TV. Aside from having great character development and an interesting storyline (for those patient enough to stick with it), I admire their attention to detail.

One of those details has been given a little life recently. Diehard "Lost" fans know that music plays a big role in the show, and I'm guessing that iTunes has made a substantial profit from the downloads I have made after hearing tracks in the background of different episodes. I've snagged everything from Joe Purdy to Mama Cass, with a lot in-between.

But the most famous band on "Lost" didn't have anything out until recently. Geronimo Jackson was the name of some obscure band that kept popping up in subtle cameos throughout the series. There was a Geronimo Jackson album in the hatch, and the undercover cop who busted Locke's doobie family was wearing one of their T-Shirts.

The band was just kind of an inside joke, but it seems the voice of the fans has prevailed upon the "Lost" powers that be. As of March 17th, you can download the Geronimo Jackson single "Dharma Lady" for free.

It's got a lot of Grateful Dead flavor to it, which should surprise no one. But even if it gets stale quick, you can't complain about a free single.

Long live Geronimo Jackson.
