    Deadmau5's show is very is good, although I think the total experience is a bit long when you add in all the openers. The show we went to in September had 3 openers and it was 5+ hours long which can be too much EDM especially when you're stuck in your seat at the HOB, would have been better in an arena or outdoor setting.

    Feed Me was OK, I found his show entertaining but it was very repetitive. IMO Excision was the better of the 3 openers for Deadmau5.

    Justice is THE show my son is anticipating the most at Lolla and after listening to them I have to say I'm pretty pumped for it too! Husband will be over at Jack White during this one but I'd rather see JW in a small club setting and Justice out in the open under the Chicago skyline so I'll be hanging out with my son for this set :D

    I saw Deadmau5 in an arena in Hartford (where PJ played in 2010). Shit was awesome. I had never heard any Feed Me before that show and really enjoyed it. Love Feed Me now. Excision was good too - I'll be seeing him again at ID Festival in July, tho its not something that I feel the need to listen to regularly. A little too industrial sounding for me sometimes.

    I saw Justice at HOB in Boston. Show was great, tho I was a little disappointed at the length of the show. Really felt like it could have been longer.

    If your into EDM you should check out Identify Festival. http://idfestival.com/ They're going to places across the states. Eric Prydz is the main headline, but Im mostly excited about Wolfgang Gartner. They keep adding more people...different line up at all the shows. Really wishing Nero, Porter Robinson and/or Hardwell would get added to the MA show tho... but the tix were cheap. $40 and I think thats worth the price to see any one of those artists on their own.

    Yup..imagine your iPod skipping, and throw in digital static...now make a beat out it, then crank the low end and you have Dubstep.

    OP... I'd like to make a recommendation that you leave Dubstep to others.

    I catch my kid listening to it every now and then which promptly creates a good debate as to the merits of quality music and what a cantankerous, cagey, old critic might term 'junk'.

    He's got really good taste in music for a young dude and plays the guitar very well... so I have to admit that for him to listen to it... there must be something in it. I just haven't figured out what that quality might be?

    It seems as if this genre of music is more like background noise at traffic lights than anything which might inspire the soul.

    Temper what I say though. It was I that made fun of the guys who listened to Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lionel Ritchie, Men Without Hats, and others in the early 80s as I was throwing their tapes out of the stereo and replacing them with Tattoo You and Zeppelin II. I may just be a musical buffoon with much too narrow or scope of influence.
