Used to mix up Kim Fowley and Kim Wilde for some reason.

Kim Thayil has managed to stay above the fray.

*sails away* (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 23:18 (fourteen years ago)

If I only catch very brief glimpses of them in a preview or trailer, I always get Rob Corddry and Paul Scheer mixed up.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 22 July 2011 13:16 (fourteen years ago)

In spite of the recent palaver, I still confuse Robert Maxwell with Rupert Murdoch.

Who? Well, I've never heard of Mogwai. (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 05:31 (fourteen years ago)

rong thread j1m

Paul Scheer's a different height, different head shape and always distinguishable by his gappy grin, but I'm still not entirely certain Corddry and David Koechner are separate people.

Came here to post this.

I just realized I have been confusing Derek Jakobi and Ian Holm, don't know why.

For me, it's Derek Jacobi and Derek Jarman.

Ira Robbins (Trouser Press) and Ira Kaplan (New York Rocker, some band).

clemenza, Monday, 1 August 2011 23:56 (fourteen years ago)

Byron Coley (Forced Exposure) and Gerard Cosloy (Conflict, some record label).

clemenza, Monday, 1 August 2011 23:59 (fourteen years ago)

Frank Owen and Frank Kogan. (At least in 1988 I'd get them confused.)

clemenza, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:02 (fourteen years ago)

Ira Robbins (Trouser Press) and Ira Kaplan (New York Rocker, some band).

― clemenza, Monday, August 1, 2011 7:56 PM (27 minutes ago)


Yes! I'd also throw in Andy Schwartz (New York Rocker) and Wayne Robins (Newsday)

Scharlach Sometimes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:28 (fourteen years ago)

How about Andy Schwartz (New York Rocker) and Andy Shernoff (New York rock guy)? I used to get them mixed up all the time.

clemenza, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:39 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, them two too. Doesn't the latter guy, from the Dictators, misspell his name Adny? He was misspelling long before the internet, he was way ahead of his time.

Scharlach Sometimes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:42 (fourteen years ago)

My first search was "Adny Shernoff," just to double-check, and all I got back was "Andy." But I guess we're right.

clemenza, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:44 (fourteen years ago)

Achewood and Torchwood

bentelec, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:44 (fourteen years ago)

That's what I remember from Please Kill Me, phil.

Scharlach Sometimes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:46 (fourteen years ago)

Throw in Fernwood, too, bentelec.

Scharlach Sometimes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:46 (fourteen years ago)

Just checked the first three albums right off the shelf--Adny on every one. (Underscoring something the aforementioned Frank Kogan pointed out recently: it would have taken me two seconds to reach over to my left and check the albums, but I instinctively checked Google first.)

clemenza, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:49 (fourteen years ago)

Also underscores that he is not famous enough/that fact is not important enough to insure that somebody would undo the spell-checkers hypercorrection so it ends up gets drowned out in the ethernet.
