Happy 55th birthday to Beck Hansen (born 7/8/70). The LA-based artist transitioned from Lofi “Loser” to a multi-faceted arena rocker on his diverse discography, which spans a wide range of genres. Whether you dig his scratchy alt-rock odes on 1993’s Mellow Gold up through his most recent synth-pop excursions on 2019’s Hyperspace, he’s also performing his songbook with an orchestra this summer. Watch young lo-fi Beck play “Teenage Wastebasket” back in 1993.
