I feel the whole SE corner could do with a tiny bit of rejigging, I think there's definitely enough space to add at least 7 or 8 more venues playing drum and bass.
The only 1 I can see playing is Snow Patrol, as there standing isn't very high. Playing an outdoor event 5 miles from me, with a 8k capacity. Previous headliners are James and Texas.
LRP was the first of the IRS REM albums I had I think. Monster would have been the first at all. Had the Best Of IRS Years compilation before any albums, so always had a preference for the earlier sound.
Driver 8 is a perfectly viable reason for liking anything. I've got a similar thing with Fall on Me from LRP. Have you heard the Jason Isbell version from a couple of years back? Love this version
