Re: Dif Juz questions / Emigre #9

hee hee

well my toes are always here for you!

my memories of those "facts" come from 1980something so I apologize 
if they are somewhat bleh

"fact" number 1 came from Emigre's ads for Raygun at the time, I 
guess I musta made up the rest haha, but I still contend that Raygun 
was "all font and no action" music-wise...

The other was word of mouth from DJ Broken window, and serves as the 
best explantation I'd heard up until then, though it's true, a search 
of "juz" yields little

...just remember,
"There's always someone, somewhere, with a big nose who knows. 
He'll trip you up and laugh when you fall..."
