Let’s start at the beginning. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge fan of the TV show Lost. The guys from Tiger House can attest to this, when I refused to practice or play shows on the days of the premiere and finale of the recent season. Earlier this month, ABC started a contest where Lost fans could write and record a mock theme song for Lost and then the winner would be announced at Comic-Con (which was last weekend) and they’d get their song played and everything. It’s not a life-changingly huge thing, but it’s good exposure for the winner. So I entered. I wrote a short instrumental that I thought captured the feel of Lost pretty well, and I actually ended up very happy with the end product, which I didn’t expect to be.

Well, I didn’t win. And in a bizarre turning of the tables, the winning theme song was a goofy butt-rock song with lyrics, and mine was this serious attempt at a theme song. Usually it would be the other way around; I’d do the goofy thing and then the serious thing would win. But that is cool for the guys who made the winning song, they got thousands of people visiting their Myspace as a result! But then Alyssa suggested that I do a quick edit of my theme song to a Lost trailer and post it on YouTube in time to catch some of the Comic-Con frenzy. So I did! Watch:

It’s actually been getting lots of views, which is awesome. DarkUFO (one of the big Lost fan sites) posting about it sure doesn’t hurt either! So hey, thanks fellow Lost geeks!
