[Jandek] Re: the units

I'm pretty certain that this is the right Units - if I recall correctly,
Janky said in the Trubee interview that it was a San Francisco Units that
had given the cease-and-desist order, and that's where these guys were
from.

There were at least 2 or 3 bands calling themselves The Units at that
same time period (not counting the one later called Jandek). Our man
was wise to come up with something more unique.
