"Knitting on the Roof" is the latest compilation from the
Knitting Factory
Records imprint. Here's the premise: rockers do "Fiddler
on the Roof." This is for real, folks. Come is featured
with "Do You Love Me?". Other artists include the Residents,
Negativland, the Magnetic Fields, Eugene Chadbourne and DJ
Spooky. Just think if your high school had done it this cool.
In other Come news: Chris Brokaw will be playing 2
"Solo Electric Guitar" performances opening for Nobokazu Takemura
and Brokeback: November 24 at Middle East in Cambridge and
November 27 at Upstage in Philadelphia. See Thrill
Jockey for more information.

GvsE (Good
VS Evil) is the USA Network's latest foray into hipster
programming. The show has been described as Pulp Fiction meets
Buffy, but I'd probably call it any hyperstylized Saturday
afternoon UPN show meets some other overly dramatic teen WB
show. Point is, pay attention to the music in the August 1st
episode (8:00 PM) if you happen to catch it. Then try to match
the songs to the credits. Find Nightmares on Wax, Come,
Boards of Canada and burger/ink. Now listen
for something strikingly similar to JSBX's "Calvin."
See if you can spot "Magical Colors." Sounds awfully familiar,
doesn't it? Now look for a JSBX credit. Let us know if you
find one.

Come and Cat Power appear on a forthcoming comp.
of live tracks from KBOO-Portland, Drinking From Puddles (Kill
Rock Stars). Come does "Hurricane," and Cat Power, "We Dance"
(a Pavement cover, yes). Other luminaries include Elliott
Smith, Cadallaca, Hazel, Poison Idea, Geraldine Fibbers, Lydia
Lunch, Prolapse, Kristen Hersch, Soul Junk, and Dead Moon.

Archives with a party afterward at CBGBs (with COME, Two Dollar
Guitar, Sleepyhead, others).
