If you have nothing new to contribute, then you can edit your original post every so often in order to keep it unlocked. If your thread ends up getting locked, then create a new thread with the important elements from the old ones. If the thread is important then you should be able to at least keep track of it every twenty days. Is it a nuisance? Sure. Does it suck for you individually? Yes. If you wanted you could possibly stick your thread in the Open Canvas as music could arguably fit the description of a type of art. I'm sure that no one is going to call you out as far more irrelevant topics get misplaced all over the forum board and people just let it slide. Especially in the case that you will be revisiting your own thread, I'm sure that it should fine with a lot of people. The rule isn't fundamentally horrible. It can be a little impractical but there are many methods of working with it if you choose to truly be serious regarding your own threads that you find to be of utmost significance. There are ways of getting what you want without needing to directly change or challenge the rules.
