Also, I thought there was an unknown German kraut rock band called Noy for at least a year, until I put it together that they had been talking about Neu!.

And though I don't get them confused, I always have a moment of hesitation whenever I have to speak the name of a composer with a non-intuitively pronounced name: Penderecki, Gorecki, Reich, Boulez, Xenakis.

I confuse anyone named Peter with any other guy named Peter.

This year was really confusing until I realised that Florence and the Machine is not Flossie and the Unicorns.

I keep thinking that the Rentals are the Adverts, who in turn I apparently think are the Members.

EDB's post reminds me that I confuse Kid Creole and Kid Congo Powers, but not the other way round.

I used to get the Adverts and ATV mixed up a bit.

Lounge Lizards - Flying Lizards

Worst one for me is remembering which one of Swervedriver and Skrewdrive is the good shoegaze band and which is the presumably bad white supremacist band. Potential for awkward moments in that one now Swervedriver are gigging again!

eskimo kisses, Saturday, 1 August 2009 20:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Ha, I've mixed those two up in conversation before.
