Pixies' <i>Minotaur</i> is Two Feet Tall and Weighs 25 Pounds

The Pixies box set, Minotaur, is out tomorrow, and apparently the thing is super huge--it's two feet tall and weighs 25 pounds. Basically, it's as big as a dachshund. 

The picture of the set is above, and among the already reported price tag ($495 for the limited edition and $175 for the deluxe) and bunch of albums (the Pixies studio albums in Blu-Ray and gold-plated CD form), the set comes with a bunch of artwork created by original Pixies artists Vaughan Oliver and Simon Larbalestier and a furry cover. In addition to being obscenely large, the Limited Edition comes signed by Oliver and the Pixies. There's only 3000 copies of the Limited Edition available, so act fast. 

In case you need a refresher on the Pixies albums, there's a video for Minotaur below. [Pitchfork]
