I've my entire life thought Mick Turner and Mick Harvey were the same Australian musician and had the pleasure of being availed of this misconception in front of one of them (Harvey)

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."

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.

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.
