Being new to this site/forum, do you all do any weekly forums with new music discussion from albums released every Friday? If not, I may start something like that 👍 If yes, point me in the right direction, please!
Mostly we just sit around and complain about Vinyl Me Please and stare in amazement as @Hollywood eats yet another plate of poutine.

Some excellent/shared potentials on here!
 
Any Steven Wilson fans out there? To be brief, he is one of my favorite artists/composers/producers of all time. He has a new solo album dropping January 29th (finally, it's been delayed since June 2020). It's called The Future Bites. Here is the music vid for one of the singles. I'm super pumped for this album, as Steven is completing a stylistic shift from prog rock/metal to more of an art pop/rock and electronic aesthetic. Evolution is necessary to remain cutting edge ✌
