Definitely already going with an alternate genre. From chiptune to hip hop. Already got the rap written.

I like the gradual change idea.  Genre, tempo, style....seems like each person could bend it to their own particular area of challenge.

you're forgetting us kids whose parents never went to the video store, whose entertainment consequently came from the library. I know my 20 year old sister was real turnt up about Shirley Temple's stuff and week after week renewed the same awful VHS cassette.

How about gradual change from one genre to a completely different one?

I like Dwight Davis's suggestion most so far. ...

Some other ideas

1. include a tempo increase (not sudden, but gradually... either quickly or slowly) ... or a decrease.

2. modulate major key to relative minor and back again. (or possibly just any kind of modulation.)

3. very slow (60 bpm or slower) or very fast (180 bpm or faster)

I'm enjoying the idea of gradual change like slow to fast / fast to slow, major to minor (or relative major/minor). Heck a gradual change from genre A to genre B would be pretty interesting to try out, too.

but then that's not necessarily very "thematic", so i dunno if i'd pick it as a "theme" for the week!

Could be anything, like reggae, rap, or celtic bagpipe anthems. The idea would just be to try something new and unexpected

Well, that certainly opens up the possibilities.
