The Folk Implosion Probably '24 but I'm hoping for '23: Pearl Jam
New albums from Sparks, Kissing The Pink, OMD, Scenius, Dramatis and whatever Rusty Egan is doing with his Visage project. Reissues / overhauls of the Fun Boy Three catalogue The rumoured ABC Lexicon Of Love box set (and please do Beauty Stab and How To Be A Zillonaire as well).

Has the rumor that there's a Gigaton II died? When it was released, someone said they had inside info. There's also the half-heart on the spine and some thought it implied there was a follow up with the other half of the heart coming to complete the set.
New Donald Fagen, with rumors of some songs that he wrote with Becker. When it comes to SD music, apparently one can buy a thrill.
New albums: U2 - Songs of Surrender (March, 17) Depeche Mode - Memento Mori (March, 17?) Reissues: ABC - The Lexicon Of Love (rumoured) The Beatles - Rubber Soul (rumoured)
I could copy/paste my post from last year saying I hope we will see “G Stands For Go Betweens” Volume 3 from Domino Recordings next year.
Metallica - 72 Seasons Paramore - This Is Why Kimbra - A Reckoning Algiers - Shook Kelela - Raven Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex Margo Price - Strays Ne Obliviscaris - Exul Julia Holter (hopefully) Jessie Ware (hopefully) Kate Bush Tom Waits I'm sure there are more, but those come to mind first.
Lives of Angels’ Elevators to Eden is supposedly being re-pressed in the new year. It’s a very hard record to come by and was never released on CD, so I am very much looking forward to being able to buy a copy for retail.
