Video: Electric Picnic headliner Beck gives a blistering rendition of his classic anthem Loser

His headliner’s set at Stradbally could be something special…

There are certain songs that will always remind JOE of our college years that we spent drinking buckfast out of a boot studying away and working hard in the library.

Countless nights were soundtracked by the likes of Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit, Beastie Boys – Sabotage and B*witched – C’est La Vie. No wait that’s not right.

Regardless of what was being played, there was one song that we could always rely on our local DJ to play which would bring the house down, Beck – Loser.

It’s crazy to think the song is 20 years old but it will always remain an absolute classic. Beck warmed up for his Electric Picnic set with this performance on US TV show Austin City Limits and it’s just fantastic…

Seeing this has just made us even more excited for Electric Picnic. Two weeks lads, two weeks!
