    I agree-- why not try to be good at all of 'em.

    Still, I don't feel how one gets "artistically" from one song to the
    next is all that vital. And-- dare I say it-- *that* portion of the
    show tends to be more about the DJ's ego than a lot of other factors.
    I'm there to hear/play music, not watch/practice gymnastics. Call me
    selectah if ya will, that's just how I feel.
