Nothing wrong at all. It's interesting tho', 'cause I think ten years 
ago, your typical college deejay would have been more aware of the 
'stapleness' of some of these tracks, and would have avoided them, even 
if he or she dug it.

...that's the rub, probably. Seems to have more to do with the younger 
deejays not being as jaded to those songs. And hearing the tracks 
sandwiched between gang gang dance and such, it gives me fresh ears too.
