somehow I can never remember who J.J. Cale is and he winds up becoming this amalgam of John Cale and Cass McCombs in my mind.

spatula

My brain always wants to momentarily forget which of these I want to say, even though they are quite different implements and I use one of them all the time in different contexts while I’ve used the other maybe twice in my life

I think people keep mixing up the 2 when it comes to the title of the long jam on side 2 of QMS' Happy Trails.

Stevolende, Saturday, 31 August 2019 19:19 (six years ago)

Just found out that Golgotha was another name for Calvary. I thought I'd heard it was the location of the residue of the human waste that came off the crucified or the residue pile itself. Not sure where i got atht from, some horror type media, comic, book or film I think. Maybe they were just being poetic.

“I Never Will Marry”/“Never Will I Marry”

The Fearless Thread Killers (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 September 2019 15:39 (six years ago)

i used to have problems distinguishing
pederast and
pedophile

je est un autre, l'enfer c'est les autres (alex in mainhattan), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:45 (six years ago)

I'm not sure I know the difference, but I am not googling to find out.

Hideous Lump, Monday, 2 September 2019 00:01 (six years ago)

the former can colloquially overlap with the latter, but is not a subset: specifically an adult male in a continuing intimate relationship with an adolescent boy. a paedophile is someone of either biological sex, physically attracted to pre-pubescents, whether or not they act on those desires.

“I Never Will Marry”/“Never Will I Marry”

Adding to the confusion is Linda Ronstadt singing both.

There's a Devon-based guitar teacher called M1ke B0llard if you want to add him to the fray (yes I googled the name)

Can I broaden the topic to "Oh!, my dad always got those two mixed up"? If so:

Jim Morrison / Morrissey

Mike Leigh / Spike Lee

Sean O'Hagan (of High Llamas/Stereolab)
Sean O'Hagan (Guardian journo)

In fact I've only recently realised they're two different people.

funnel spider ESA (Matt #2), Thursday, 19 September 2019 17:04 (six years ago)

Wait, didn't Sean O'Hagan of
the Llamas also do some music writing?

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 19 September 2019 17:21 (six years ago)

Yeah I'm even more confused now

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 September 2019 17:38 (six years ago)

No, that was Sean O'Hagan of the Guardian.

this one's easy for me because I take the steamer to Zilwaukee for all my timber milling

Looked up Kilwaukee last night, hoping to join in on the metric fun...

... but apparently, Milwaukee has its fair share of violent problems!

Theodore Bikel

(Admittedly, I don't think about either of them that often to always get them mixed up, but there's no "Oh! I Once Got Those Two Mixed Up" thread.)
