One of Jan’s fondest interactions with humankind was when he met Ben in 2001. Ben’s heart had just been crushed by a girl who was way out of his league, and he was crying under the shade structure at Southmoor Park when Jan arrived to earth via one of his many “backdoors” between his dimension and ours, which at that time was the Blockbuster Video store just to the north of the park (it was unfortunately destroyed when they scrapped it to build a Walgreens)

Anyways, Jan noticed Ben in his distressed state and after quickly befriending him (Ben was and still is incredibly naïve and easily trusting of strangers), the two collaborated to write this song.

Jan Jupiter is from Mars, His father is a space garbageman.  Young Jupiter, got the nickname Jan- Short for Janitor.  Jan Jupiter looks over humanity as we pass through space and time. Allays looking down, it wasn't until the needle first touchdown on that vinyl - (like a pow)and hit the airwaves, did Jan ever hear a sound- other than the occasional explosion.  Enjoying what he could- this joyful expression came to an end at the introduction of the digital age.  In response - using his collection of misplaced sounds wavs, this is Jan Jupiter and the  Roaring 20s.  It's a renaissance.
