Trollheart,

A few years back I found a used record shop. Unlike some CD stores which are mostly identical, it definitely had atmosphere of its own it. I got to know the own and he was more approachable and knowledgeable than someone you would meet in a music store or anywhere else. I was talking to him about bands with similar names and I brought up Smith and The Smiths (I'm not the greatest conversationalist) I asked him how where they as a band and he said they were pretty good. I didn't buy their cd at the time I kinda miss an opportunity there. But I also miss him and the shop too. Fast-forward to present time looking around songs on youtube I came across them and I was impress with them.
