I thought about asking permission to cover a song, that could be a theme.
Not everyone might get permission to cover a song. I like the no 4/4 idea.

You might not get permission to cover one song, but you can keep asking other artists for other songs.
Granted, this takes a bit of time to get through the gears of bureaucracy, so perhaps it's best to plan ahead of time and do this for week 10 or something.

gotta go fast (200+ bpm)
I vote this, but no 4/4 sounds fun too.
+1 for yodeling. Yodel jam week. Yes.
Yeah I'm with no 4/4. Suits me, I want to do some 6/8 jams anyway.
Yeah, I've been thinking about experimenting with 15/8 and other various prog timings. Good motivation to do so! Might have to be more death metal though.
I've actually been working on a rather depressing alt-country song that I've been holding back on finishing because of all these themes, haha. Maybe theme for week 6 could be country.. haha!

No 4/4 sounds interesting. For a future week maybe tempo and/time signature changes in a song.
