Jeanette Winterson and Marilynne Robinson

Øystein, Saturday, 1 March 2008 12:07 (eighteen years ago)

I have no idea why, but Schopenhauer and Scriabin.

roxymuzak, Saturday, 1 March 2008 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

Taxi and Taxi Driver. Not too much, though. "Time to stick on Taxi Driver and have a few laughs before bed."

Merdeyeux, Sunday, 2 March 2008 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

Quentin Crip/Crispin Glover/Crispian Mills. I'm not even sure totally sure who these people are, but I still mix them up.

Tuomas, Sunday, 2 March 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

Just the names, I mean. I'm quite sure the actual people are very different.

Tuomas, Sunday, 2 March 2008 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

I just realized I've always mixed up Steely Dan and Steeleye Span. Then again, I don't know much about either except that they were 70s rock bands.

Tuomas, Thursday, 3 April 2008 11:24 (eighteen years ago)

Steeleye Span was a folkish band whereas Steely Dan was R&B and jazz inflected. To help you out.

Sasha Frere-Jones and Sasha Baron-Cohen.

John Updike }{ John Irving

Nothing to do with their names, but I'm always stumbling and getting Cheever in my Updike. And vice versa.

Alvin Stardust and Ziggy Stardust.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 10:20 (seventeen years ago)

I mean, what's the point of having two glam rock singers named "Stardust"? Which one of them came first?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

The legendary Stardust Cowboy.

(ten points to me)

Mark G, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 10:28 (seventeen years ago)

Dennis Quaid and Jeff Bridges

redmond, Thursday, 11 December 2008 18:18 (seventeen years ago)

I don't get them confused, per se, but I always seem to forget that Jeff Bridges' name isn't "Jeff Daniels". It takes me a second before I think, "Oh, wait. Jeff Daniels is that other guy."

Yeah, that's good. I think there's another Ron in there too.

ilx chilton (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 9 January 2009 00:03 (seventeen years ago)

Or maybe I'm thinking of when Ron Silver plays himself in "Heat Vision and Jack."
