"OK, Gen X-er?"

Admittedly, it's more convenient for today's college radio DJs to sequence the songs they want to play in advance through software.  For me, however, that doesn't match the satisfaction of programming music in real time, especially when you segue from one turntable to another.  There's something gratifying about finding the start of a song, moving the record back in a counterclockwise quarter-turn, and starting it at just the right moment.  Yes, it's more labor-intensive.  Yes, if you forget the quarter-turn step, the song will sound warped until the turntable gets up to speed.  When it works, though, you have the satisfaction of knowing that your judgment was on the mark.
