Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Trevor Watts
Trevor Wishart

Aoste (France) and Aosta (Northern Italy). They both have meat products.

Dyess, Arkansas/Delight, Arkansas

If it helps any, GC was really from Billstown.

Maidstone and Maidenhead.

Wendy Crewson
Wendie Malick

If it helps any, GC was really from Billstown.

don't get me wrong, it is part of the Delight Metroplex.

Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson

I blame Fried Green Tomatoes.

Mary-Louise Parker and Molly Parker. I'm rewatching Six Feet Under right now, and I'm looking at Rabbi Ari and wondering if it was the same actress in Angels in America.

Ween
Weezer
Wheatus

They were all "alternative" rock bands of the 90s that got some play on MTV, I guess? But hell if I can remember which is which.

You could try listening to the music

No thanks! Can't really stand that stuff.

Agree with Tuomas about those W bands. Have no idea which is which.

Wheatus and Weezer. Both were punkish American rock bands that had a novelty hit song in the 90s, never could remember which was which.

Ween and Weezer for me.

fp'd Anatol for accidentally adding Ween to Tuomas' confusion tally

Clint Mansell and Clint Boon.

Dennis Perrin
Dennis Pennis

Phoebe Snow
Libby Titus

i love michael b jordan but it always takes me at least 2 or 3 passes to remember his name correctly

anthony c hall
nope
michael b anthony
nope
etc

His father's name is ... Michael A. Jordan.

(xposts) I get Phoebe Snow and Minnie Ripperton mixed up--"Poetry Man" and "Lovin' You" were released within a couple of weeks of each other and, I'm guessing, climbed the charts at the same time.

I also get Minnie Ripperton and Minnie Riperton mixed up.

Joe Higgs/Joe Gibbs

Maybe should add
Sugar Minott/Jackie Mittoo

Joe Higgs/Joe Gibbs definitely.

That John Cale song where he sings "I never wrote a song named 'cocaine'" should include an extra verse just for me that says "I never recorded an album with Bob Newhart"

idgi

My way of saying I confuse Bob Newhart and bob neuwirth

Why would you get Bob Newhart confused with Lilith from "Cheers"?

I've always thought he was a real "ice queen"

I know who Michael B Jordan is, but I do often confuse Michael C Hall with Anthony Michael Hall.

This is more like an Oh! I Know I'll Always Get Those Two Mixed Up post. I've seen both My Cousin Rachel and Lady Macbeth the past month, and they've already merged in my mind.

Ed Walsh/Eddie Plank/Ed Reulbach

Their careers were almost simultaneous. The first two are in the HOF; Walsh had the ridiculously low ERA, Plank 300+ wins. Reulbach's not in there, but his ERA fell between the two, and his W-L record was very similar to Walsh's.

Rube Waddell/Rube Marquard

These two are easier to sort out. They're both in the HOF, but Marquard got started just as Waddell's career was winding down. Marquard looks like a really specious HOF pick; Waddell was the better pitcher, though he did have a short career. No stories that I know of about Marquard; Waddell, according to one of the first baseball books I ever read, liked to chase trains--he was, depending upon what era was describing him, either eccentric or crazy or, according to Bill James, most likely developmentally challenged.

Reading Jay Jaffe's HOF book right now.

waddell also liked to chase firetrucks iirc :D

Checked his Wikipedia page soon after I posted, and yeah, I evidently had him mixed up with Superman there. And the much simpler explanation for his behaviour seems to have been alcoholism.

the dollop podcast devoted an episode to him & it’s very good & bizarre & funny if you are ever inclined to listen

23andMe and Theranos. Always have to look up which one is legit and which is fraudulent.

Alison Brie
Brie Larson

Richard Price/Richard Powers kinda

Frankie Rose
Frankie Cosmos

Kurt Eichenwald
Kurt Schlichter

Mission of Burma
Minor Threat

I used to confuse Mission of Burma and Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. I'm not sure I've ever even heard anything by the latter.

And I see from wiki that Roger Miller of BotM went on the form MoB.

House of Cards
House of Games
Game of Thrones

I've watched all three, so obviously I don't mix up the actual content, but whenever I'm supposed to say the name of one of them, I often mix it up with the other two, leaving my spouse confused... "Can't wait to watch the next episode of House of Cards and seen who the zombies will kill this time!"

Paul Schrader
Paul Scheer
Paul Rust

There might be another Paul in there as well.

Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Fierstein

lol just came here to post that ^

I was like "wait, he harassed women?"
