    There's raw song selection, then there's *flow/sequence*, which isn't
    really "skillz", then there's skillz.

    I'll take a DJ w/the first 2 who's skipping his needle every once in
    while over most any skillzentric DJ. Look at Mancuso for a great
    example of what I'm talking about. I'd calibrate the importance for
    my ears as follows: song selection: 8; sequence/flow: 9; skillz: 4.
    On a scale of one to-- say, 12.
