Song Of the Day: February 22, 2005


The Candy Skins-She Blew Me Away


Long Beach Records 45, 1990

The first time I heard this song in a noisy bar I wondered if there was a new Tommy Keene release that had escaped my attention. I found out later that it was the Geffen Records debut of the Candy Skins. "She Blew Me Away" was the standout track from that LP; this earlier 45 on Long Beach records is missing a few overdubs. You tell me which is better. There was this really cool girl I used to hang out with whom I always thought this song could have been written for. I can't for the life of me recall what her last name was.

I could swear that a band I used to be in covered a Candy Skins song. I'll be damned if I can remember it though.
