deer(hoof/hunter)

David Lynch and whoever that other Lynch chick not a director is. Ok, I guess I can actually distinguish between them. It's just whenever I see the other Lynch the first image that pops up in my mind is David and then .00052 seconds later I realize it's a reference to the other.

Paul Young (Sad Café and Mike + The Mechanics) and Paul Young ("Wherever I Lay My Hat", "Come Back And Stay" and so on) tend to be mixed up a lot for obvious reasons. The latter was even mourned in various places when they former died.

Also tend to mix up Anthrax and Megadeth, probably for partly the same reasons why some have Built To Spill and Guided By Voices mixed up.

Vandenberg / Vanderhoof

Pete Yorn / David Yow

embarrassed myself the other week by mixing up Guy with Joe

tender trap/tiger trap/temper trap

Not similar names but: The National, Deerhunter and Menomena are basically all jumbled up in the same drawer in my brain.

Not like I mix'em up, but I still like this track:

Deerhoof and Deerhunter mix me up the most. I even went to see a show that Deerhunter headlined and I still don't really remember who they are.
