Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

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.

― Two Severins Clash (James Redd and the Blecchs),

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

― Two Severins Clash (James Redd and the Blecchs)

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

Been using both threads for things i already get mixed up :(

I think I have a real Rod Steiger problem - I am sure I posted Rod Steiger/Roy Scheider upthread

Eddie Henderson somewhat but not as much as the two Joes.

Lorde
Grimes

Robert McNamara
Donald Rumsfeld

More of a visual thing than a person, but people on my FB timeline keep posting the new album by The Bug ('Fire').

It turns out, when scrolling past it quickly, that the artwork is virtually identical to late 90s hard house banger 'Yomanda - Synth & Strings' on Manifesto.

Diadochi
Dioscuri

Paul Johnson (Get Get Down)
Paul Simpson (Musical Freedom)

Drivin N Cryin

Lucian Freud
Francis Bacon

you couldn't get their work mixed up though: Bacon the nightmare distorted face man and Freud the pubic hair and skin specialist!

I looked at the Bacon on this week’s University Challenge and said “Freud” at my TV. Can’t explain it, it happens all the time.

I think they were acquaintances in the 40's/50's bohemian set in London

That’s right - they painted pictures of each other too.

I can't remember what the Bacon one looked like. but I recall the Freud one as very stylised and quite unlike intense painterly flesh that became his signature style.

I know this is absurd, but I just confused KMD, Young Black Teenagers, and Urban Dance Squad

it's weird to me that there are two famous blonde New Yorkers named Lindsay Crouse

Tompkins Square Records
Chatham Square Productions

xp and to make it even more confusing, the one who's a journalist is not the one who's the sister of journalist Timothy Crouse.

Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Sayers

Cost me a question on University Challenge the other day...

I don't really confuse these, just trying to pitch some lyrics to Plastic Fantastic if they're still going.
