The man gets better and better with every release, although, I have to say I didn't like his last one, Reality too much.

There's only the one Pixies cover, Cactus. The other covers are Gemini and I've Been Waiting For You (Neil Young song, surprisingly). Love that album.
I like Reality a lot, too. The only songs I'm not keen on are The Loneliest Guy and Pablo Picasso. I really like Bring Me the Disco King, but he needs to learn that less is more; it's too ****ing long and made for a boring song live. My favorites are Reality, Fall Dog Bombs the Moon, and New Killer Star (*love* the "Jesus on Dateline" line).
