if my watching Day Of The Locust this week is anything to go by.

Tetley's the tea people
Tetley's the brewers

That's somehow reminded me that when I was a kid I thought DC Thomson and DC Comics were related.

Did Superman ever make a guest appearance in the Beano? Missed opportunity if not

Oor Wullie stood in for Robin in the occasional Batman story.

Clinic
Metric
(haven't spent any significant time listening to either)

Clinic
The Clientele

for me

Zac Gallen
Zack Wheeler
(but not Zack Greinke)

And not Zack Wheat, either.

how about zac(h|k) britton? i can't remember if he's an h or a k but i am pretty sure he changed it from one to the other at some point

Whom I'll never mix up with the others because he's the guy Buck Showalter didn't use in the 2016 WC game...

Clinic
The Clientele

Couple of months ago, a coworker told me he was excited to see the Clientele. I said "Oh yeah, they're ... sort of like Belle & Sebastian?" He said "Um, not really." Later I realized I was thinking of Camera Obscura.

Also not much like the Clientele tbh!

Who would it be fair to say the Clientele are like?

to me they sound like Acetone or maybe Luna

I feel like the older I get, the more I post on this thread. Anyway,

Also not much like the Clientele tbh!

no i mean i got the clientele mixed up with camera obscura. i have heard camera obscure but not the clientele.

Isn't there an act called Client (Sarah Blackwood's post-Dubstar gig)?

Jimmy Kimmel
Jimmy Fallon

I could study their work in seclusion for a year and still wouldn't remember which one is which.

I think I know what Jimmy Fallon looks like at least but, other than that...

Having checked it out, Jimmy Fallon is the one I really want to slap and Jimmy Kimmel is the one who always looks like he wants to cry. this info will leave my head in the next 10 minutes.

Lou Adler

Sarah Jane
Sarah Lucas

... that should be Sarah Kane!

AEDs
IEDs

don't ask me to help if you have a heart attack, is what i'm saying

And then there's IUDs. It's a minefield.

And the aedes mosquito, the current scourge of Southern California.

Rob Ford
Doug Ford

I've only seen the grave of one of them

Spin Doctors
Blues Traveler

somehow i thought i'd done this before

CCR rhythm section: Stu Cook, Doug Clifford

AC/DC rhtyhm section: Cliff Williams, Phil Rudd

Hit 1933 musical film 42nd Street has actor Powell and actress Keeler.
Hit 1954 musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers has actor Keel and actress Powell.

Also – my defence is that these periodicals haven't traditionally turned up where I live – the shared initials have made me conflate

The New Republic
National Review

doxxing
catfishing

Shawn Fain
Sinn Féin

Right wondered if anybody had commented on that. Keep hearing the name. Is a bit like hearing about a labour leader called Libdem or Labour Party or Tory Twat. Though obviously not with the same political connotations. Not sure you hear the party name any where near as much on the radio

Naomi Klein has written a book called Doppleganger about people getting her confused with Naomi Wolf and the rather tragic consequences of this

She was on something I listened to yesterday talking about it.& how the other Naomi had become a Gannon fangirl who appeared on his show etc etc

Yan Cook
Yan Can Cook

I didn't realize till today that Stephen Yan (host of Wok With Yan) and Michael Yan (host of Yan Can Cook) were two different cooks.

HK action star Tony Leung Ka-fai, aka "Big Tony"
HK action star Tony Leung Chiu-wai, aka "Little Tony"

I think clientele and belle and sebastian was a fair comparison, at least, if you limit it to their first few years of existence. B&S morphed into something much different over time.

national review/republic trips me up every time. I could not tell you which is which without looking it up even now.

just use this handy mnemonic

Russell Brand
Stewart Brand

After four years, I finally got around to watching Joker. This whole time I had mixed up Todd Phillips with Todd Solondz.

I apparently can't tell the difference between A Flock of Seagulls and Grateful Dead. I was at a bar and the song on the sound system I thought was "I Ran" turned out to be "Touch of Grey". And I wasn't the only one to be momentarily confused!
