In the last week I’ve confused:

Keir Hardie
Keir Starmer

Lenny Bruce
Andy Kaufman

A few I used to get mixed up all the time

Cordwainer Smith and Clifford Simak
Genevieve Valentine and Catherynne M Valente
Pohl and Pournelle

Bill Evans / Gil Evans

^^ gah, same!!

Gary Wright/Gary Wright
(“Dream Weaver”/“Mirror of Ice”)

today i realized that for all this time i had been confusing the genres of powerviolence and power electronics

gasp's "drome triler of puzzle zoo people" is actually quite good

I wish there was more music that sounded like that one yeah

Parker Posey and Posie Parker (a TERF apparently)

I don't always get them mixed up, I only just heard of the latter person and thought she was the former for a few minutes.

Gary Wright/Gary Wright

Best mangled request I ever got at the classic rock station was for "Dream On" by Gary Weaver.

Gil Evans (Miles Davis arranger) vs. Bill Evans (Miles Davis pianist) vs. Bill Evans (Miles Davis saxophonist)

I don't ever even think much about Bill Evans - saxophonist. It's Bill Evans the pianist who also played in an earlier Miles group who is top Bill!

oops, didn't catch all of last paste.

Yusuf Lateef also a former Bill Evans (and I think recorded under that name early on)!

In my experience lots of ppl also get Coleman Hawkins and Ornette Coleman mixed up

I wouldn't, but am a subnormal freak!
xp
bloody hell, didn't know that. Even record shop headz might have been confused by that one.

yusef lateef's name was BILL EVANS? are you serious?

a lady i used to work with was related to yusef lateef

Jack Warden and Jack Weston.

I don't actually get the people confused, but their names (and timelines) are close enough that I started a movie tonight waiting for Jack Warden to show up until Jack Weston did, and I thought "Right--Jack Weston."

Nick Tosches is the worst of the first generation of rock critics (though Richard Meltzer gives him a serious run for it).

― grawlix (unperson)

meltzer's performance as det. munch on "homicide: life on the street" makes up for the shittiness of his rock criticism imo

Halsey
Alessia Cara

Ha, one time saw that guy walking down Broadway with his twin.
