Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

The Cars and Gary Numan

Gary Numan and Thomas Dolby (may have listed this one before).

Caroline Flint and Caroline Flack. One's a Labour MP and the other does TV stuff (I think).

Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Fierstein

Tim Pope and Tim Burton who I thought were the same person (named Burton) until I was reading the Lol Tolhurst book.

Gk Chesterton and Kingsley Amis, for some weird reason.

I just forgot which one was which AGAIN

prosecco, prosciutto

Tubeway Army and New Model Army

drummers Matt Chamberlain, Jimmy Chamberlin and Matt Cameron

Made more difficult by the fact that the Matts have both played in both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden!

andrew gold
gilbert o sullivan

Gilbert O’Sullivan
Leo Sayer

you make me feel alone again naturally

you make me feel like a lonely boy again naturally

I get Andrew Gold mixed up with John Stewart, for the stupidest, most obvious reason.

But funny enough, never John Stewart and Jon Stewart!

Kehlani
Kaleida
Kelela

maybe others...

shallots
scallions

Kelis and Steve Scalise

jared leto and jaron lanier

If I think about it for more than five seconds, I can figure it out, but I still get James Franco and Jared Leto confused.

Jessy Lanza
Jessie Ware

add Katy B to this group

Symone Sanders, Sarah Huckabee Sanders (neither of whom are related to Bernie Sanders, even though the former worked for his campaign!)

Rose McGowan
Rose McDowell

Carl Sagan
Carl Andre

Bradley Walsh
Brian Conley

Conley married Anne-Marie on 4 August 1996, in a ceremony at a Stoke Poges chapel, Buckinghamshire.[6] Conley had proposed eight months earlier, while wearing a suit of armour.[6] The wedding day itself also had comic elements, causing celebrity guest Linda Lusardi to remark that it was "the funniest wedding I've been to" — Conley made several memorable quips during the event, and the couple left the church in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car.[6] The couple have two daughters.

Recently: Deerhoof and Deerhunter
― Paul in Santa Cruz, Monday, January 14, 2008

You can add Deer Tick to the list now. (Deerhunter is the one I know and like, but I still have to pause for a couple of seconds to remind myself which one they are; have never heard the other two.)

dash mihok and michael rapaport

Jem Finer and Jem Cohen

I was at a math workshop today, and one of the presenters looked uncannily like Jonah Hill--a few pounds lighter, hair a little shorter, otherwise a physical lookalike, and his voice and mannerisms were dead-on. Everyone at my table was in complete agreement. When we called him over to look at something related to the workshop, I had to ask if anyone had ever told him he looked like a famous actor. I expected him to groan and say, "Yeah, I know, Jonah Hill." He said yes, but not Hill: "I get Richard Gere sometimes." It wasn't meant as a joke--he was absolutely serious.

Jonah Hill and Richard Gere: I always get those two mixed up.

Nicolas Slonimsky/Joseph Schillinger

Jonathan Chait / Jonathan Haidt

Ted Solotaroff/Saul Maloff

Daisy von Scherler Mayer

Javier Bardem and Benicio del Toro

Silver Apples and Apples in Stereo

Just realised after a comment by the latter about The Presidents Club dinner that I have been conflating Harvey Weinstein and Harvey Goldsmith.

I keep thinking Sarah Greene is the racist alcoholic 80s TV presenter instead of Sarah Kennedy.

just realised that 2017 sex-scandal tory David Meller is not the same person as early-90s sex-scandal tory David Mellor

sorry, *2018* sex-scandal tory David Meller

Jean Renoir and Jean Vigo. Every time I see the name Jean Renoir I think it's the guy who made L'Atalante

Alison Brie
Brie Larson
