For the longest time I was extremely confused about the simultaneous existence of the bands Golden, Smog, and Golden Smog. Not to mention that Golden had a record called "Golden Summer," which made me think there might have been a separate band called "Golden Summer"

Recently embarrassed to realize that my mind had, over time, not only conflated Edward Snowden with Julian Assange, but that I had thought that the leaker for wikileaks was named Bradley Beal.

Flowers in the Attic
Flowers for Algernon

I have read neither of these, so that's probably why.

emil.y, Monday, 21 March 2016 17:39 (ten years ago)

DJ Mencap / DJ Martian.... they might be the same person, for all I know.

Carly Simon
Carole King

and it's a shame because I really like Carole King!

JWoww Gilberto (man alive), Thursday, 28 April 2016 17:25 (ten years ago)

Just remember that she was the one who sang "You've Got a Friend".

pplains, Thursday, 28 April 2016 18:18 (ten years ago)

I used to consistently confuse Carole King and Carol Kaye, but I think the fact that I made that mistake in public a few times drilled the correct signifier-signified connections into my head.

emil.y, Thursday, 28 April 2016 18:27 (ten years ago)

I have often muddled them, no more Carol Ks please

upcoming gigs here by both white fang and white lung, is this a conspiracy to befuddle me?

Anthony Nolan and Leonard Cheshire.

John Cena and someone else, a singer maybe?

I want to say John Mayer, but I don't know. Can't google the other guy since I keep thinking his name is John Cena and that's the wrestler.

pplains, Thursday, 5 May 2016 13:15 (ten years ago)

I can never remember which one is Jesse Eisenberg and which one is Michael Cera.

Used to get Jan-Michael Vincent mixed up with Claude Van Damme.

think I can tell them apart but do momentarily think one is the other on seeing them.

Stevolende, Thursday, 26 May 2016 08:24 (ten years ago)

In that vein, I tend to confuse Martin Clunes (from Men Behaving Badly) and the guy who plays the main characters' teacher in The Inbetweeners. Though I guess I wouldn't confuse them if I saw them in real life, because the Inbetweeners guy appears to be a giant.

When I was a kid, tax preparer H&R Block and cartoonist Herblock. This confused the hell out of me.

Toby Jones
Toby Young

I genuinely have a mental block on Toby Young's name and keep thinking he's called Toby Jones. I totally know who Toby Jones is, and that he's not Toby Young. I know who Toby Young is but I can never remember that he's not called Jones.
