« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Science (#1) #219
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin SCIENCE special!
Tonight your lab-coat wearing hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott bring you a whole hour of SCIENCE-themed music! From behind shelves of smoking test tubes we perform one of the most significant experiments ever attempted on modern radio. The proposition: to fill a whole hour with international songs about SCIENCE. The equations say it can’t be done, but we have a few tricks up our (fireproof) sleeves. Tune in tonight and donate your eardrums to the advancement/ regression of research into musical mutation.
To paraphrase Thomas Dolby, "They deafened me with science!".
As always, this is 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.
