no offense to anyone, but the 9:30 club isn't "Intimate". Intimate is a venue that's less than 300 people... since we'll go for "bandwagon" bands I saw Something Corporate playing an open mic night to 15 people and 8 months later they were headlining Warped Tour. (soundboard from that = <3 )
my bf just mentioned to me he's listening to her, which is why i had to comment on the ludicrousness of an MTV show being "Intimate" in a 1000 person venue. No. Pink Floyd at the 9:30 club would be intimate. Lily Allen selling it out is just corporate.
and I'll add I've done the street team thing for 9 years, and I admit when TRL came out my company mass shill called for bands like Pink and The Calling, but when you got paid $10 a day to do it, you would too.
