I have no explanation for this, but I do mix them up. I'm not sure if I've ever heard either one's music though.

this is amazing.

for years I wondered how this dude had time to come up with so much stuff considering he was only famous for being tall and died pretty young

I was confusing him with

It has only recently come to my attention that Evan Parker and Andrea Parker are not the same person. o_0

Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck

kenneth tynan and kenneth anger

Kenneth Tynan and Kenneth Turan

Death Cab For Cutie
Dismemberment Plan

I mean, I realize that neither of these are trending topics anymore, but on the jimi hendrix vs nirvana thread:

I thought Geir's random comment had something to do with the Postal Service being a Seattle band or something but Postal service: Tamborello - California, Giddard - Washington. So I guess it was just one of his trademark inflammatory comments.

Seattle is in Washington as well, Moka. Gibbard is from Bremerton, which is a 55-min ferry ride away from Seattle.

I thought Drugs A. Money had the wrong Washington.

Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman.

it's really only Black Swan that's helped me seperate the 2 in my head.

also i read an article in Premiere in about 1987 once about people getting Charles Durning and Brian Dennehy mixed up and have been doing it ever since.

Wow, do they have the same surgeon or something?

Knightley was in fact the decoy Queen Amidala in The Phantom Menace.

Carlos Castaneda, Cornelius Castoriadis (but never confused with Cornelius Cardew, although for some reason I used to always say the wrong one out of him and Christian Marclay, even though I knew full well who each one was).

Anthony Bourdain
Andrew Zimern

The existence of Milton Friedman may be what makes me mix up the composers Milton Babbitt and Morton Feldman.

2003's "death and dismemberment tour" would have been a real shitshow for u

(i know it was for me)

Also, Broken Social Scene.

Karen Allen, Margot Kidder, Debra Winger.

Lee Marvin and James Coburn.

Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels.
