« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Nothing (#2) #224
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin NOTHING special Pt2!
This evening, your good-for-nothing hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott, deliver you 60 hot minutes of NOTHING! And we do mean NOTHING! With our usual zen-like grace, we present a handpicked hour of International music themed around, NOTHING, NOWHERE and NO-ONE, the show is sure to be overflowing with abundant musical emptiness. NOTHING music is really something you need to hear, so tune in tonight or you’ll miss EVERYTHING.
On our ‘Island’ section tonight we part the curtains of nothing for a few moments to investigate the new album by anatomical musicalist Cosmo Sheldrake, promisingly titled “Eye To The Ear” - sounds to spin your eyeballs and vibrate your earballs.
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.
- The Ugly Ducklings - Nothin'
- Antoine Reencuentra A Les Problèmes - Je Ne Vois Rien
- Larry Williams & Johnny Watson with Kaleidoscope - Nobody
- Mary Jane Hooper - Don't Change Nothing
- Bob Dorough / Multiplication Rock - My Hero, Zero
- No Blues - Empty Bottle
- Karen Turesson - Ingenting
- Cosmo Sheldrake - Does The Swallow Dream Of Flying?
- Cosmo Sheldrake - Breathe Round Corners
- Joyce - Nada Será Como Antes
- Alon Aboutboul - Empty
- Ton Steine Scherben - Ich Hab Nix
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.
