Was surprised to see the Pixies cover the Fall but shows anything can happen.
I would love to see the Pixies cover Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan.
Officially written by Donovan when he was in India with 4 Beatles and a Beach Boy, this song sounds destined to be wailed over by both JS and BF.
Any other songs Pixies should cover? |

Well I was going to suggest Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles by Captain Beefheart, but I just saw that the fucking Black Keys did it already. Never been a fan of those guys. Or any of the overtly look-at-how-retro-and-raw-we-are groups (Jack White).
So maybe some other Beefheart.

I always thought the magic of a cover was that you shouldnt be able to predict it and if people want a particular song then it should be avoided at all costs.
I'd like a new cover though, preferably of something that I've not even heard of before. |

Good point.
I'd never heard any of these Pixies covers before the originals
I've been waiting for you
Heaven
Winterlong
Evil hearted you
I can't forget
Cecilia Ann
Born in Chicago
And I love them all. But I did know the originals of
Wild honey pie
Head on
And I can't stand the Pixies versions, so I am all in favour of the surprise cover.
Mind you I'd still love them to have a go at Don't bang the drum by the Waterboys

I have to agree with you, this should have stayed in my own mind with all the other ridiculous fantasies! Dont worry, I wont share the others! |

Bullet.
Frank and Joey once made an instrumental version of it for some movie. It's in #1 of the fb.net podcast. It sounds glorious, but is far too short. If the Pixies covered this song in full I think they would really take it to another level.
Of course Frank has already put the kibosh on the Pixies ever taking on any of his solo stuff, but hey, a guy can dream... |

He'll never cover Lou Reed. I just know it. More chance of him covering Blondie. Pity, I'd like to hear Joey cover a John Cale part. But EDF doing a Jimmy Destri part would also be good.

I think it would be cool if they covered an entire classic album kinda like the Flaming Lips did for PFs The wall. They could even start with a J&M Chain album, maybe not the obvious but something like Sound Of Speed would be pretty epic.

I think it was "Dark Side of the Moon". That would be cool--how about the "White Album"? |

Absolutely. There latest one, 'How To Stop Your Brain In An Accident" for me, is their best yet. Roughly on a par with 'The Difference Between Me and You Is that I'm Not on Fire".
Have you heard about Andrew Falkous's solo album? That's worth checking out:

That would be really something to hear Tom Waits rendtion of any FB song, but this one in particular would truly fit.
Also sometimes when I listen to 'I Will Run After you' (especially the Live at Melkweg version) I think it would be the perfect song for Coldplay to cover. Not a fan of them in the slightest though. |
