The Candy Twins - Zoe, aged 25 (acoustic demo)

[eatsandsleeps]

It seems unlikely that Fish lifted this song, Candy Twins were formed in 2007 and didn't release their first limited release EP until 2007. 13th Star by Fish was released in 2007.

Now, it's not to say that it's impossible, just improbable.

I know a couple of years ago I played in a band with a specific name and we thought no one else would use it but I found out that some one had exactly the same name with the same spelling all the way across the country!

[Umanh]

well, it sounds similar to Fish's song.

Wow my name is not Zoe...I have heard of this song but do y'all know an other songs without "zoe" innit?

[mcrfreaklol]

[MitchSinger]

I love this song.... says so much about how we think about age....

[MatDurrance]

Back from holiday and checking out your new stuff David. I don't know how you got away with the research on this one. Nice tune again. Won't lower myself to comment on the sordid video though. I feel cheap and dirty just watching it over and over again ;)

[secretstrummer]

Glad to see you back Mat - hope you had a great time! She's a friend of our new bassist (he claims). I of course just read it to keep up with the news via the 'News In Briefs' balloon ...

[MatDurrance]

Haha - sort of "Gordon Brown is the new Prime Minister!" in a speech bubble to inform the masses. I only read

"Dear Deidre" to help with my personal problems...

Hey Mr strummer. Nice to hear another post, I would have thought you must be very busy at the moment with the candy twins. Remember me when your famous...Anyway, this is another great song and very worthy of listening to. I wish I had your songwriting talents!

[secretstrummer]

Cheers Ralph! I would be busy rehearsing but I can never persuade the others to bother so for every gig there's an element of winging it. Did you decide against the London weekend? Anyway the Farringdon gig was good - our best yet - and they've asked us back for another headline slot. Great tiny little venue, the basement of a v small pub opposite The Guardian newspaper.

[foggonthetyne]

Things keep getting in my way when it comes to your gigs. Even the Guildford ones are no goers at the moment, Damn! but I will make it at some point of that you can be sure. Good to hear you had a great night. Keep posting the dates and I will keep my eyes open.

[KrisShred]

I know this song, from your MySpace maybe?

Nice tune Mr Strummer :)

[secretstrummer]

I think it's just quite a derivative song Kris - it's quite similar in parts to Footsteps On My Shadow and perhaps Edwyn Collins is Back. Many thanks.

[secretstrummer]

It's about a page three girl so I couldn't really get away from it ;o). Thanks v much Steven. Guitar is my new Gretsch Electromatic - cheap Chinese job, but it's got the Gretsch name and sound and I've always wanted one. Played in double drop D cap at 2nd fret.
