I had a vision also, in 2004 (right?) when the Pixies started touring again, I dreamed I saw their new record, and I looked at the back and excitedly read the titles.
i can't see it being all covers IF there is one, but I bet it might be a two disc affair since FMRM was. Joey, I don't mean to sound harsh but I really don't think an all cover album would get much attention other than us hard core fans.
I could see two discs- one origianal and one cover tho.
if there is one it will be a 12 to 14 orginal tracks...that would be my take, their is already worry about not meeting expecations - and well, i don't think a covers album or a double album would do them any favours
