'huge, queer and tawdry' but 'much admired by the public'

OK, granted, they can do it with their own material (and people doing that sort of stuff live is a whole different question - I don't like mash-ups, but I often love it when people cover two songs in one - indeed, I'll be playing something like that tonight). And I did, once, hear a DJ in Sheffield doing some amazing things with tantalising little snatches of 'Born Slippy' dropped in to other songs over the course of about an hour before he actually played it. But compare him to the hundred other DJs I've heard who only spoiled the track by trying to get clever, factor in my lack of skillz on top of that, and I know which way I'd rather err.
