I continue to confuse Rocket from the Crypt and Rocket from the Tombs.

I think I may occasionally get the 2 names confused when saying them, wrong last word coming out> but I certainly know which is which,
One of my fav tshirts is the red The Day The Earth Met The
or rather two of my, since I got sent a free tshirt when Jim Jones being ill delayed an order from the Ubu boutique.

Got several tracks from the lp on my walkman too.
Not heard much RFTCrypt.

I don't think I've ever actually heard Rocket from the Crypt, but I still manage to say the wrong name in conversation.

I've also frequently confused John Cale/John Peel in conversation, and once John Cale and Sterling Morrison, oy.

The Strokes/The Hives/The Sounds/etc. There were dozens of "The XXXs" bands in the early 00s, and it didn't help that they all sounded the same.

Tuomas, Monday, 12 September 2011 14:14 (fourteen years ago)

I guess I thought that maybe Bruce Hornsby used a RANGEfinder to make the video that killed the RS

Chuck Berry/Chu Berry. I don't mix them up, but first time I saw the latter's name, I thought it was a typo.
