[VIDEO] THROWBACK/THURSDAY: Beck – “Loser”
Artist | Beck
Song | “Loser”
Album | Mellow Gold
Boy, there isn’t much to say about this song that hasn’t already been said in the past 16 years. It’s hard to believe that this was the song that broke Beck into the radio rock mainstream, but ever since that day it has been a long road of great music exploring every crevice of the indie rock mantra. Although I will admit not really beginning to listen to “good” music until the late 90s, this was the first Beck song I had ever heard and it made me a life-long fan of the song. This music video was a great visual break through into the musical mind of Beck, serving as an example of what a $300 budget for a music video can do in terms of enjoyment and expression.
If I ever broke onto the music scene, I would definitely want to do it with the smash-hit “Loser.” Impecable timing on Beck‘s part.
“Soy un perdedor.
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?”

this tune is a favorite! similar self-deprecation as seen in ‘creep’ by radiohead. both have captured the angst and alienation of the disgruntled 90′s youth impeccably. oh those were the dayss….
no joke- i used the word impeccably before even reading your post. how inexplicable
