This reminds me of a gag on Modern Family I liked, where the character thinks he's going to see Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons but is disappointed to discover it's Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.

Never occurred to me that Swervedriver / Slowdive could cause some confusion until the person who wrote up the former's show for the Mpls paper referenced "Slowdrive."

Black Dice
Black Keys

― mintap, Saturday, 25 April 2015 03:28 (eleven years ago)

Erroll Garner and Mal Waldron, for some reason. They're both pianists/composers, but their names aren't similar, apart from r's and l's. I even listened to one of them today, as part of an Eric Dolphy box, and I can't remember which one.

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 25 April 2015 03:31 (eleven years ago)

Black Dice
Black Keys

This one confused me for quite a while. I couldn't reckon how the noisy and alienating band I once heard in person had managed to become so beloved and commercially successful

― Josefa, Saturday, 25 April 2015 03:46 (eleven years ago)

That is exactly what happened to me. I saw Black Dice live and a little while later saw them being celebrated. I never gave Black Keys a proper listen thinking they were the noisy alienating band I saw.
