Carmine Appice
Vinny Appice

...are somewhat tricky to keep straight, but I really came here to say it has recently come to my attention that in the professional realm, Carmine Appice pronounces his surname a-PIECE, whereas his younger brother Vinny Appice pronounces it APP-a-cee.

I always pronounced it a-PEE-chay, maybe they could compromise on my version? Beck Bogert Appice must have endured some interesting pronounciations in their short-lived time.

I guess I always thought Tcheky Karyo and Elias Koteas were the same actor, for no other reason than they both have Ks in their names

Can this thread be locked since there is a new one now? Or is the new one serving some other function that I haven't grasped?

this thread is barely even that long

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Tuesday, 20 July 2021 18:26 (two years ago) link

Yeah I thought the new thread was some twist I didn’t get

Alba, Tuesday, 20 July 2021 18:31 (two years ago) link

Ahem. The new thread was started to post things that one doesn’t mix up but might mix up in a future perhaps stressful moment because they are next to one another but currently still separate in the mind. This was to prevent *joke* posting in this thread that might later actually come true. I guess something posted in that thread could graduate to this thread. Please feel free to ignore it if it irks you.

There are some things or people I don’t really don’t know the difference between, which therefore belong on this thread, such as the classic
Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton
(there’s also a Bill Putnam, but I know he is i different)
Then there are some that I currently do know the difference between, but due to some internal bit rot ( perhaps silby can explain) I might not in the future, so they belong on the other thread, such as
Janet Maslin and Janet Malcolm

Maybe others are already using this thread for both purposes but I got spooked when I saw some things I posted here as a joke and that I couldn’t actually tell the difference between anymore so I started the other one for safety’s sake

If I started worrying too much about which posts are made in earnest and which for lolz I’d have to leave ILX for my own sanity

The other thread is a James Redd special, bless him, which I've never really got my head around.

All my threads can’t be classics, now, can they?

Oh wait.

They are very distinctive. This is a good thing.

I saw a picture of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani together - I already mix them up, and I thought they looked like two different version of the same guy.

in the young longhaired days of course, not the current bald satriani days

This isn't the one but it basically captures it

This isn't exactly what this thread is about but it occurred to me that as a pretty big fan of autechre for 20 something years at this point:

- I know that autechre is Sean Booth and Rob Brown
- I know what Sean Booth and Rob Brown look like
- I have no idea which one is Sean Booth and which one is Rob Brown

oh yeah I thought they were one and the same person or at least that the one that is Anna Richardson was definitely the Ryder one

but only the former had a Legal dispute with Arnold Schwarzenegger

and only the latter has daughters called Dixie Dot and Bibi Belle

nashwan, Thursday, 19 August 2021 10:48 (two years ago) link

only the former was married to Sue Perkins - can you imagine being married to Sue Perkins?

"Bobby Gillespie" (ft. Heroin) (Tom D.), Thursday, 19 August 2021 11:59 (two years ago) link

No, because I don’t know who that is.

I googled for a second, learned a bit then gave it up as not worth knowing.

OMG!! Love this so much. The best part is I never would have figured it out in a million years.
