• T9T playing a house show on Friday.
• Have a fire outside with hot-dogs Friday late evening.
• Saturday afternoon soccer-shoe shopping (finally!)
• Saturday all afternoon / evening I was running sound and DJ’ing for a wedding up on Marrowstone Island.
Every part about the last 2 days (excepts for my runny nose) was TOTALLY AWESOME.
David Thorne didn’t have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, who is clearly a mega-bitch to the nth degree, wouldn’t accept it. So what happened next? Hit the jump to find out. But I’ll give you a hint: time travel! And also, David’s account not getting paid.

Bio:
Angela (Gala) Garrels was born in Michigan in 1975, amidst many lakes and to parents who encouraged outdoor exploration and creative inquiry. A large volume of the History of Painting and crucially-timed art teachers helped to form her desire to become an artist. Gala studied painting and received a BFA at Ball State University in Muncie Indiana, and then went on to get her MFA at State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, concluding her formal education in 1999. She then worked for the art museum at her alma mater, Ball State, and began teaching at the college level that same year. Soon after, she was married to fellow artist and dearest friend, Zack Bent. Gala’s first full-time teaching job was at Taylor University, in Upland Indiana, where she broadened her experience by teaching various studio media and contemporary art issues.
In the summer of 2006, Gala moved with her husband and her son to Seattle Washington, where she recently gave birth to their second son, and continues to make artwork and teach part time. She also writes art reviews and completes odd jobs for Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Emergin’ in de summa’ of 2008, De Nine Tailo’s draw heavily on de literary influences uh Soudern Gotshic scribbler Flannery O’ Conno’ and Ernest Hemin’way. Slap mah fro! Named fo’ de tradishunal tollin’ uh nine low-rin’in’ bells followin’ de dead uh a joker in 18d- century England, long time acquaintances Steven Hardin and Kurt Schula’ began fo’min’ deir tight knit homeyship in 2008 while poundin’ out hauntin’ melodies in some makeshift practice space in some Greenwood garage.
Bo’rowin’ fum de stark simplicity uh cult favo’ites likes Isaac Bazan and Amos Kozelek, as well as de eccentric energy and lyrical phrasin’ uh Modest Mouse, De Nine Tailo’s craft eerily fine beats dat snatch ya’ out towards de rugged coastlines and evergreens uh de No’dwest, t’de desolashun uh de Pacific. Co’ got d’ beat!
Band member, Kurt Schula’ says, “It’s not about despair, but about bustin’ drough de comfo’table t’a place where we kin confront da damn inevitability uh dead and da damn urgency contained in de struggles uh life.” In de process uh beatwritin’, Schula’ says he neva’ knows whut gots’ta happen. ‘S coo’, bro. “In creatin’ characters, de beats end down shapin’ demselves. I’m usually surprised at how little control ah’ have in de outcome. Whut needs t’happen, happens.”
Wheda’ journeyin’ drough de minds uh funky sailo’s and fishermen, o’ de trailers uh de Midwest where dogs honky jibe chained t’bugger’d- waaay down pick down trucks, ya’ kin be sho’ man De Nine Tailo’s is one uh Seattle’s down-and-comin’ indie folk acts wo’d checkin’ out. Man!
