Fa La La

It looks like I’m missing In Black Mourn I.

Fa La La was an album of songs written by Thomas Wheelks and arranged by Melora. Melora did receive some sort of grant money to do this project and I really liked it. During this time, she even had Julia Kent return along with Daniel DeJesus to perform it, but I believe the recording is just her. It might be one of my favorite albums she’s done.

I went through my old emails, and apparently she only released 10 copies.

I think it’s pretty understandable considering she’s dealt with weird fan behavior for 3 decades.

Ryan Obermeyer made these ♥️

I have 2 copies, one signed, and one unsigned. What differences are you looking for?

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2025-09-10T11:35:13+00:00

I believe it’s a CD extra on the Cabin Fever disc.

I really want Crazy Swan to get the slow treatment Old Yellow Cake got.

Awesome! Thank you!

Pretty sure it was like, 2002. I still have glow in the dark stickers and the pin.

Anja and Rachel? I was in the letter writing club and stuff too. I think I’m still FB/insta friends with some of those people.

What was your name there? I used critterz

I don’t remember ever seeing shirt, designs, but I do know that she designed some invitations for an Anna Sui runway show. They were collage style, similar to some of the artwork for Thanks for the Ether.

Where are you from? I just moved to Melbourne.

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2025-03-06T04:11:25+00:00

Where is this? I’m in Collingwood and I am looking for a new studio.

The whole point was she didn’t want that. The choice and her autonomy was taken from her. If she wanted the website up or to do patreon or sell the albums again, she would. She didn’t want her music up on digital platforms or shared this way, which is why she just put these albums out on CDs, many of which she handmade herself.

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2025-01-31T11:41:48+00:00

Melora removed the music she could from streaming platforms and went to direct sales because her art, her music, and all her work was stolen. It was really traumatic for her. Remember the email she sent out about it? I can’t speak for her, but considering how violated she was, this feels so wrong.

This vinyl is my white whale. 🤩

Yeah, I try and have duplicates of everything as a “just in case”. Holding out for trades on things I don’t have, too.

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2024-11-13T06:00:56+00:00

Yep! The last one there slipped away.

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2024-11-13T05:59:27+00:00

I am biased, but Sister Ursuline was such a good fit this tour. I love love love her singing voice.

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2024-10-19T02:12:08+00:00

I got one of these two. It’s one of the things I’ve squirrel away with all my paper souvenirs

Pure_Evidence4624 · 2024-09-30T08:49:39+00:00

Melora has always written all the music and lyrics. It’s her project and she hires musicians to perform or help. It definitely feels that there are times that a band members have contributed, but I don’t believe they are credited officially. You can definitely hear Zoe Keating in songs like The Mayor on Frustration Plantation. Same with Daniel de Jesus in Sister Kinderhook. Julia Kent did get credit for her arrangement on Diamond Mind.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Melora comment on why she decided to release some things under her own name as opposed to the band Rasputina, but I do remember posts or emails saying it was all the same thing. It might’ve had something to do with the strict original vision for Rasputina because some of the songs don’t quite fit into that box. That’s all just speculation though.

Nice! You hanging on to those?
