[lojban-beginners] Re: cpSPAM podcast (was Newbie Intro)

[Matt Arnold <matt.mattarn@gmail.com>]

This is a good idea and it would be a welcome segment of the show. But
it's not a theme. For the time being, I'm using a clip of music from
the Precursors project to open the show.
http://www.medievalfuture.com/precursors/main.php Yesterday I e-mailed
them and received their kind permission. I'm looking forward in the
future to including lots of music that's more Lojban-specific, but for
the first episode this will do.

What genre of music would be appropriate for the theme music? I say,
pick a known song or two and create Lojban parodies. That way, anyone
can download the song, read the lyrics, and record their own version.
