What tv show was this taken from? The audience is so funny: "pretty" dressend, absolutely stiff standing and obviously can't cope with him / his music ... but they even applause -LOL-.

Thanks a lot for this one!

It was taken from a British TV music show called The Tube.

[Shambhala4053]

Probably the best song from one of the best album ever.

@sloanmidwestXTC bowie for the 80s? well, his hair might, now looking back, be a little bowie-ish, but musically couldnt be farther away from bowie.

i'd say foetus energy has more in common with little richard and jerry lee lewis on an acid trip to hell and back!

its quite weird seeing him so young and unconfident and uncomfortable yet here with performing in public.

and the bass groove is an old classic rockabilly-blues groove made famous by the stray cats "runaway boys" but here jim (foetus) lays the stray cats behind in the girls room.

@Shambhala4053 actually here's that one remixed by amon tobin here on youtbe, search for "foetus amon tobin" and your there, showing he still does shit hot shit.

@Shambhala4053 DI19026 is pretty good too, as is ANYTHING. i loved the remixed version of FLOW!, called BLOW! if i remember rightly, almost all the remixes were done by folk associated with the jungle/drum & bass label/outfit called nija tunes, and an amazing one from jazz drum & bass guy amon tobin, stunning peice of work.

@roadworms not only that, but there was the pretentious cow who was interviewing him with arrogant disgust calling himsexist, when jim just uses this stuff the hammer the sexist and ignorant.

yep, 80s UK was dire, the women we hackitt (scots for horrid looking) and the pop music was as plastic as now. but the underground and alternative scene ACTUALLY existed in 80s Uk.
