Barbara Murray
Barbara Shelley

Hazel Court
Barbara Shelley

Mary Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft

Jean Baudrillard
Roland Barthes

I may have said this before. No matter how hard I try, I _cannot_ get these two straight. Every time I reference one of the two, which is _constantly_, I have to look up which is which.

Barbara Murray
Barbara Shelley

Martin Landau

Probably been mentioned before: Martina McBride and Mindy McCready. I wanted something to play in the car on the drive home yesterday, so I ducked into a thrift shop and bought two Martina McBride CDs for a dollar each. Was happy to see that Christgau thought they were as numbingly generic as I did.

Neil Jordan/Neil Breen

Kristen Schaal
Jenny Slate

Neil Breen/Neal Brennan

Alan Holdsworth

Topper Headon / Tippi Hedren (only when I read the names)

Whenever people mention Jonah Goldberg I picture Jonah Hill, which is often hilarious

lol I've been thinking about Doughy Pantload lately for whatever reason (which is a nickname that I guess could apply to either of them?).

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.

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.
