« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Careers (#2) #211
It’s the Begilufin CAREERS special - Part 2!
This evening your professional radio hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott walk you through 60 head-u-cational musical minutes themed around CAREERS. Haven’t decided what you want to be when you grow up? Maybe our show’ll give you some stupid ideas! In our sonic suitcases (I told you we were professionals) we have a ridiculous portfolio of International tunes about carpentry, dentistry, psychology, clownery and probably a bit of astronautery too. A menu for life or a recipe for failure? Tune in tonight and you could be raking in millions this time next year!
As always, this is live, spontaneous and rather silly radio - we always throw in a couple of mistakes for your entertainment.

Begilufin
Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air.
Since you ask, ‘Begilufin’ is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears.
Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix’ Koray.
