I would like to see such a newsgroup. Something like rec.music.4ad
seems an appropriate name. 

You should read news.announce.newgroups to see how to get a new
newsgroup. The basic rules are
1) post an article on why and how, and start a Call For Discussion
2) after a while, when things settle down, start a Call For Votes.

if you receive 100 FOR votes more than AGAINST votes, a new group
can be generated. See appropriiate news.* newsgroups.
