I sometimes get the Dimbleby brothers mixed up.

The Attenboroughs as well, come to think of it.

But never the McWhirters, despite them being twins.

Oh, I've got one of my own now: Ted Nugent & Todd Rundgren. I had to google to check that the guy who's a racist is not the same person as the guy who had a feud with the Lennons, and in the time it took me to write this I have already forgotten which is which.

Isn't the Paxton/Pullman thing kind of a cliche by now, even if true?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 19 January 2007 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Magma and Magna Carta, but just for today. I bought a Magna Carta record (Seasons), thinking I was buying a Magma record, because I wanted to know why they made Christgau laugh out loud when he was painting his record shelves.

― clemenza, Saturday, 20 April 2024 18:57 (three days ago) link

When the keyboards guy joined my old band ages ago he thought we were saying we were into Magnum, although we were actually saying Magma. I'm amazed he agreed to try out.
