Waiting for someone to say R.D. Laing and k.d. lang

Which one did "Crazy"?

Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Monday, 9 January 2017 18:25 (nine years ago)

I guess both in their own way

Green Gartside and Greer Garson.

Colombia and Cambodia. I know they're completely different but when they come up it always takes me a couple of seconds to remember which one's in S. America and which one's in Asia

Helen Shaver and Helen Slater. (Started watching 1984's Supergirl last night. "That's Helen Shaver? Can't be her...")

I'm able to keep most bands named after geographic locations straight but I tend to confuse Boston with Kansas and vice versa.

(xp) Good one.

xpost I am dreadful in pub quizzes when they play a clip of a song which is either by Foreigner, Chicago or REO Speedwagon in a music round. I pretty much always choose the wrong one.

ailsa, Tuesday, 10 January 2017 15:01 (nine years ago)

I always confused Foreigner and Journey.

Lene Lovich / Lydia Lunch

I know nothing about the former though, except I always see her name and she has a quote in this book about Roedelius I'm currently reading

Kieron Gillen
Weird and Gilly (and the Spiders from Mars)

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 9 February 2017 12:34 (nine years ago)

Karen Gillan? Seems like someone I would get mixed up there if I knew who those people were...

Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Thursday, 9 February 2017 14:42 (nine years ago)

I mean, I know who weird and gilly are - because of surname stuff I was often called gilly at school.

Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Thursday, 9 February 2017 14:43 (nine years ago)

I don't know who Kieron Gillen is either really, so I guess I don't mix them up as such. But infrequently I hear the name and Ziggy Stardust comes on in my head.

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 9 February 2017 15:09 (nine years ago)

Carmen Miranda and Ethel Merman.

Surprised there's no mention on here of novelists Richard Wright and Richard B. Wright. Anyway, the second one, the Canadian Richard B. Wright, died yesterday.

Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Kimmel

Was not aware that these were two different people (I am from UK, never been to USA) until I watched the Oscars and tried to work out why people were letting the host get away with having done such shit to normalise Trump with his cute interview last year and was now joining in with the (perfectly valid) criticism like none of that ever happened.
