I spew:
The way they play "Siege..." live, who knows? It might end up on a record. I
don't know about new songs, but you could imagine a lot of Surgeons songs
might fit in the cycle already:

Lady of the Harbor - Desdinova arriving in US at Ellis Island at the turn of
the century.

I Play the Drums - Desdinova's living in NYC in the 1990s. The Imaginos
business is slow and he could use some family counseling. Instead of taking
his frustration out on history, he...you know.

Brain From Terra Incognita - Desdinova contemplates running for office in
order to screw with history from within. Starts out with some big ideas, but
comes across as too cocky ("Only conclusion is, I am your lord.", etc.) and
most likely loses the election to a more centrist candidate.

Happy New Year - Desdinova's wild night in Times Square.

'Lil Egypt - One of Desdinova's ancient girlfriends comes back as a Mummy
and tries to kill him? I'd have to consult the lyrics.

Biloxi - Desdinova taking a break from the whole "Imaginos thing" and
enjoying the sunset for once without all those annoying oysters bothering
him with their "we understand, we understand..."


I'm sure there's more. Anyway, if you're looking for Imaginos in Brain
Surgeons music, it just takes a little imagination.
