a live band can vary tempo wildly, so i think DJs ought to too, but bands don't usually switch it up from hot new orleans jazz to new testament basie from song to song, so DJs probably shouldn't either. i think that is a bit jarring, but sometimes it can be good too. as for not being able to please ...
