"Let's just say the next DJ is here."
I just noticed that on the back of one of my archived playlists, I wrote the name of the DJ due in after me. Next to it, I'd written, "Melodic maven? Melody master?" I'm guessing I wanted to say something more creative that day than just, "So-and-so is up next..." Looking back, though, I probably went with that conventional option. Just as Jerry Seinfeld advised underselling a comedian's introduction, you don't want the person choosing music for four hours after you to be stuck with the pressure of having to be a melodic maven or melody master.
