Or really,

Fourth Wall
Monkey Banana Kitchen

The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 15:50 (two years ago) link

I did wonder...

Mark G, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 16:02 (two years ago) link

haha, it's really just the cover image of Fourth Wall that I also associate with Monkey Banana Kitchen (because of the similar color schemes and because I got into those 2 records right around the same time). That causes me to refer to one when I'm thinking of the other all the damn time.

^^^ this.

Also cartoonists Searle, Scarfe and Steadman, not helped by the fact that the last two (both born in mid-'36) are stylisticaly so similar!

Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 4 August 2022 08:49 (two years ago) link

Searle/Scarfe/Steadman, yes!

Also Alex Jones and Christine Lampard. Show me a picture and I couldn’t tell you which was which.

... that's going to confuse North American ILXors.

And one replaced the other on the One Show. I'm convinced the BBC do this deliberately with presenters. They have a very narrow view of what an aesthetically pleasing presenter should look like and deliberately go for one who matches their predecessors much as possible. Happens with the blokes too. Mike Bushell is just a less chubby Chris Hollins, amirite?

There's a lot of dark haired youngish, well, thirty something, men who are often Welsh too.

Apologies to any lip readers (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 August 2022 10:04 (two years ago) link

Also tall fair haired youngish men, they've just replaced Dan Walker with someone who looks much the same.

Oh damn, there are three! That explains why I'm sometimes extra confused, thinking I'm mixing up two but still something not right.
