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.

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)

Andrew Farrell, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:26 (five years ago) link

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!

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:41 (five years ago) link

oops, didn't catch all of last paste.

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link

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

Ward Fowler, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:48 (five years ago) link

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

Ward Fowler, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:49 (five years ago) link

I wouldn't, but am a subnormal freak!

bloody hell, didn't know that. Even record shop headz might have been confused by that one.

calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link

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

they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:55 (five years ago) link

(feel like this one says more about the way my brain stores words/names -- two words stuck together, 10 letters, words are 4 & 6 length, D.H.)

they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:57 (five years ago) link

I always confuse deafheaven with deafhaven, a group who exist solely in the bit of my brain responsible for typing words

no that makes sense -- some people latch onto the syllabic rhythm of something
