I don't just mean from Pitchfork, they're so obviously clueless about EDM (with the exception of Sherburne, and even he's kind of a tool). Dubstep gets a ton of recognition from magazines like XLR8R and Wire, regional scenes popping up all over the US, increasing popularity in Techno (Ricardo Villalobos, Modeselektor, etc. playing it), and now a Fabriclive by Caspa & Rusko. I don't think its fair to say that you have to be really involved in Dubstep to enjoy it anymore. Maybe a year or two ago, but its popularity is only growing.

Girl Talk is the ultimate dance party - I actually discovered a lot of terrible but catchy hip-hop songs through his mashups.

What's with all the girl talk hate? Sure it''s not the most original music and he's technically nothing more than a mashup artist. But his selections are impeccable, ranging from indie bands to mainstream hip hop and he used a pixies track for one of his songs and that was when I was sold.

and you don't have to hate everything the hipsters like on principle.
sometimes it's the music that shines through

I saw him at funfunfun festival in austin this year and it was pretty good. I was not a fan based off their myspace page however, so i suggest checking out a live performance if you want a feel for him.
