"It's two feet tall and looks like the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey." -- Pitchfork

Hey Pixies fans: the FANTASTIC Pixies 'Minotaur' Boxed Set could be yours for a mere 300 bucks! The limited edition archival set would make a KILLER holiday gift. Read more about it below, and drop us a message, or ask us in the store to make arrangements.
