Because a commenter who will remain nameless is of the obviously mistaken impression that the Jonzun Crew is “little-known and even less cared-about”. We know, sir, and we care very, very deeply. Why? This is why:

One reason the Jonzun Crew is important.

I stand corrected. That’s some awesome dancing there, bruh. Righteous use of the vocoder as well.
And I’m sure there’s a great deal of nostalgia appeal for all you b-boys out there that I’m missing out on.
Thank y’all for the schooling.

Bah. Rank amateurs!!!
Only the true masters can inspire this type of devotion.

I find Sifu Tweety disgracefully sober. I cannot take take any of his electro-ponce posturing seriously until he:
A. Is drunker than funck; and
B. Enters a chronic jazz trance.

Oh I am so there. Hop-Tard beer by my side, smack-borne Miles Davis ready on the ipod-playing-deal: let’s talk race relations, coblo-gger!
Here, I’ll start.

Space Cowboy. It’s like all my life I’ve never known that music could be like this.
Thank you.

It reminds me of the liberal obsession in the 1980s with getting inner-city gangs to settle their differences with break-dance competitions. If only Muqtada Sadr would moonwalk to peace!

I need that.

The all-important white/even-fucking-whiter racial divide. Which I alone straddle.
boo-biddy-bop, bee-biddy-bow-bop. Bop. Shoo-bop.

First of all the Eds is your coblogger, ST. It is true that the Eds is the Double Stuff in a Jonah Goldberg-Karl Rove Oreo.

OMG–don’t follow the link in the first comment! There’s mime there!

When they came for mcmc, I said nothing, because he dissed mimes.

Don’t forget, inside every co-blogger is a cob logger.

bastard offspring of kraftwerk and earth wind and fire?

Nah, it’s just Gary Numan and Funkadelic.

inspiration and namesake for J. Crew line of apparel???

Seems folks here have an affinity for the most cornball stuff the 80s had to offer. I think it’s mostly nostalgia and a gen X/Y hip/ironic desire to be so uncool that it’s cool. Some dude called Norbizness used to have a whole blog about this back in the day.
There is no explanation for the Gentle Giant/ Rush/ King Crimson/ Magma affinity you see here though.
Except for their inherent AWESOMENESS!

Why wasn’t the Jonzun Crew, like, bigger than three Michael Jacksons with a Jermaine to spare? Just proves there’s no justice in the universe.

awesome. I just added jonzun to my discogs wantlist!!

And Thingi-el King of the Thingarin Elves did
say: ‘Behold, here is the Land of the Wankeri, and knew ye then not that THE LATE SEVENTIES, EARLY 80s doth rule in Middle Earth?’

If you like that, r@d@ar, then I assume you love this.

You electro-posers fool me not. I know damned well in the late 70s early 80s you were really listening to this:

Since gradlaff invoked Journey, I have no choice but to direct you all to WWJD (What Would Journey Do?).
March 6, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Oh. My. God.
As I type this, I’m overhearing two coworkers actually having a discussion about Journey’s coolness, Steve Perry’s significance, the chances of him getting back with the group, etc. And they’re serious.
That’s rural Indiana. Kill me now.
