Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Carlos Castaneda, Cornelius Castoriadis (but never confused with Cornelius Cardew, although for some reason I used to always say the wrong one out of him and Christian Marclay, even though I knew full well who each one was).

Anthony Bourdain
Andrew Zimern

The existence of Milton Friedman may be what makes me mix up the composers Milton Babbitt and Morton Feldman.

Death Cab For Cutie
Dismemberment Plan

2003's "death and dismemberment tour" would have been a real shitshow for u

(i know it was for me)

Also, Broken Social Scene.

Karen Allen, Margot Kidder, Debra Winger.

Lee Marvin and James Coburn.

Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels.

Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton.

(And yes I know Pullman/Paxton is an oldie - just being completist about the inventory of my head.)

James Toback/James Komack
Goober/Jughead

i'll echo all on ye mad puffin's list. Weird.

CVS and CSV

due to CVS' proximity to my work and CSV's applicability to my work, they come up pretty often, and i always have to stall for a second while i figure out which is which. wish the cvs was a walgreen's tbh

farrah fawcett and that other one

Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels.

for many years my distinct visual memory of Tron had Jeff Daniels's face on the lead character.

Horst Buchholz and Maximilian Schell

I'm still not convinced that Jeff Daniels wasn't a co-star in Tron. I can vividly picture him in the costume with the blue face and everything.

Also at times get Jeff Bridges mixed up with Kurt Russell.

yeah

Faye dunaway, that's farrah fawcett's confusion twin in my head

otoh i always think jesse eisenberg is several different ppl but no it's just him.

Visual mix-up:

Lately, when I see a tabloid at the supermarket with Rob Pattinson on the cover, I mistake him for Pete Doherty and wonder what the fuck he's doing on a magazine.

It's kinda unfair to say this but Jesse Eisenberg has become the guy you call when Michael Cera's busy.

or that other guy i always think jesse eisenberg isn't
is there a guy on SNL that could be a physical eisenberg? was in hot rod?

You may be thinking of Andy Samberg.

I think on second thought that what I just said is prolly no longer true post-Social Network

The Bergs, Zuck-, Eisen- and Sam-:

Joyce Carol Oates / Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Lee Marvin and James Coburn.

^these are the same guy.

Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton.

yes x1000

fye hmv

FCS and FBS. I can't ever remember which one is for BCS teams and which one is for the former D-1AA football teams.

Karen Allen, Margot Kidder

haha yes

Richard Ford
Richard Powers
Richard Price
Richard Russo

Ha, that's great. I would add:
Richard Yates

I guess I don't think of Yates in that cluster because he's from an earlier era.

New one:

Matt Bai
Matt Taibbi

lee marvin/james coburn otm.

and total cosign on this:

The existence of Milton Friedman may be what makes me mix up the composers Milton Babbitt and Morton Feldman.

just had the timely realisation that there is no distinction in my head between The Black Crowes and Counting Crows.

karl malden & karl malone

Richard Lloyd
Richard Hell

Yeah, that's a good one because they both appeared in the same story at different points, like a Dick Sargent/Dick York mix-up.

The Levellers; New Model Army.

Bevis Frond
Bardo Pond
Ozric Tentacles

Still, after all these years, Tobey Maguire and Elijah Wood.

The Levellers; New Model Army.

Duh, I just realized why. Stage name of singer of NMA, etc.

Penis
Penalize

Pickaxe
Pick Acts

Struggling with alliterative band names of the last very few years: Cut Copy, Crystal Castles, Friendly Fires...

Arcade Fire and Friendly Fires.

Friendly Fires and Fiery Furnaces

If you are of a certain age you might also add to the confusion with
After The Fire

Bevis Frond
Bardo Pond
Ozric Tentacles
