gasp's "drome triler of puzzle zoo people" is actually quite good

I don't always get them mixed up, I only just heard of the latter person and thought she was the former for a few minutes.

Best mangled request I ever got at the classic rock station was for "Dream On" by Gary Weaver.

I don't ever even think much about Bill Evans - saxophonist. It's Bill Evans the pianist who also played in an earlier Miles group who is top Bill!

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:41 (seven years ago)

oops, didn't catch all of last paste.

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:44 (seven years ago)

Yusuf Lateef also a former Bill Evans (and I think recorded under that name early on)!

Ward Fowler, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:48 (seven years ago)

In my experience lots of ppl also get Coleman Hawkins and Ornette Coleman mixed up

Ward Fowler, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:49 (seven years ago)

I wouldn't, but am a subnormal freak!
xp
bloody hell, didn't know that. Even record shop headz might have been confused by that one.

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:52 (seven years ago)

yusef lateef's name was BILL EVANS? are you serious?

a lady i used to work with was related to yusef lateef

Jack Warden and Jack Weston.

I don't actually get the people confused, but their names (and timelines) are close enough that I started a movie tonight waiting for Jack Warden to show up until Jack Weston did, and I thought "Right--Jack Weston."

Nick Tosches is the worst of the first generation of rock critics (though Richard Meltzer gives him a serious run for it).

― grawlix (unperson)

meltzer's performance as det. munch on "homicide: life on the street" makes up for the shittiness of his rock criticism imo

they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:55 (seven years ago)

(feel like this one says more about the way my brain stores words/names -- two words stuck together, 10 letters, words are 4 & 6 length, D.H.)

they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:57 (seven years ago)

I always confuse deafheaven with deafhaven, a group who exist solely in the bit of my brain responsible for typing words

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:59 (seven years ago)

deerhunter and deerhoof for sure
not deafheaven

weirdly i don't have that problem because the length of the band name is different? i might be a robot

they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 18 February 2019 19:05 (seven years ago)

no that makes sense -- some people latch onto the syllabic rhythm of something

^^ I got teased by my family this morning for confusing dandelions with daffodils.

Jon-Erik Hexum - glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 9 March 2019 08:04 (seven years ago)

Jan-Michael Vincent and Michael Des Barres (who, I now find out, is the 26th Marquis Des Barres, which should clear up the confusion if I think of him as that).
