I have a lot of material finished now that I was going to inflict on the world earlier in the year but then the stuff that has happened and is still happening happened. A lot of my new tracks are a bit on the heavy/morose/miserable side, but this one about fear of haircuts is relatively cheery - and haircuts are kind of topical at the moment - so there is that.

Your hair is growing
With some profusion
Soon it will
Cover your eyes
I foresee problems in
High wind conditions and
Risk of entanglement in
Branches of thorny shrubs

I know you don’t wanna hear it
But we all
Know when it’s time it’s

Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it’s time for a trim, it's time for a trim
We all know when it’s time for a trim

Your hair is growing
With great profusion
Soon it will
Obscure your vision
I foresee problems
Problems at bath time and
Risk of entanglement in
Open machinery

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]
[Repeat chorus]

It's time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time to face your fear

It’s alright for girls they
They know the secret language of haircuts (but)
I just don't want to look stupid
All I really want is the same as whatever it was you did last time

Mm I think it's time for trim
That's now clear to everyone

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]

Time For A Trim

Just trying to make sense of the chaos.

Simple, heartfelt songs.

Eclectic ( I try), Australian Visual Artist-Musician. Hello all - UPDATE Xtrobitz Project 2025. Christopher Russell - Hey, thanks for still listening.   I have been spending time painting recently due to ongoing spinal injuries and carpal tunnel that have affected my ability to play many instruments.
Hopefully, I will get to try out a handcrafted harp made by a family wood artisan.  I would love to collaborate with creative musical projects in the recording domain. However, I never say never and hope to be able to finish some musical ideas as soon as everything calms down and heals, fingers crossed.  As mentioned, to outlet creative stress, I create and exhibit artworks. Ref: the Instagram link and my Christopher Russell Redbubble Shop.   Cheers to all, and keep producing musical gems for people who are seeking new and refreshing sounds from around the globe. 🎸🥂
The soundtrack multimedia, etc. project of former GOTHIC FARMYARD, (circa early youthful 1980s) drummer-instrumentalist, Xristo Russell, and other pseudonyms over the past 45ys. My ongoing project is Xtrobitz with occasional contributions from other musicians, which is more fun. My involvement in other bands from the past:  Blackwater (70s), Gothic Farmyard, Moonshots (King Jerklews), KKlux Frankenstein, The Delightfuls blues band, Bronwyn Johnson Blues band, etc, Electronic music Mr Megatron, Tin Ears. 
Many recording contributions, mainly drums for hire, and I record on my new Roland TD27KV2 now. The acoustic gear is packed away, Etc. Xtrobitz music project includes fragmented guitar, keyboard soundscapes, and rhythms to help propel this set of instrumentals, short soundtracks, and snapshots.  I give my best shot for amusement these days.
Cheers, and I hope you enjoy my eccentric hobby with some collaborations.
Xristo C. Russell - Multimedia and Soundtrack project.

Writer of prose and poetry since mid-1960s. Given an acoustic guitar in 1978 by long-suffering sister. Many songs produced that way. More recently, guitar skills all but faded, using GarageBand and Logic Pro to put words to music.
ps. The Bandcamp songs should be free to download. Please let me know if they're not.

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
