Arcade Fire's Win Butler has mashed up Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" and Beck's "Loser" under his DJ Windows 98 guise.
After the Kanye/Beck/Beyoncé/Grammys debacle, Kanye's approval ratings are at their lowest in a good while. Perhaps aiming to mediate the Camp Kanye and Camp Beck, Butler's opted to smoosh together a hit from each artist - following on from the Beckyoncé mashup - into one joyous blend. It's titled "Jesus Walks, Loser" and marries Beck's drawling guitar and Kanye's allegorical lyrics.
