« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Alcohol (#3) #245
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin ALCOHOL Special, Part 2!
Gentles and ladymen, tonight your loyal radio bartenders Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott bring you the Begilufin ALCOHOL special… Part Two!
Tonight we uncork another barrel of high strength ALCOHOL-themed tunes. Name your favourite poison and you can be sure that someone somewhere has been yelling about it into a microphone for at least two minutes. After 60 minutes of having Begilufin cocktails poured into your ear through the radio funnel tonight, you’ll be hearing double. Essentially, all we are saying is GIVE BOOZE A CHANCE.
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine 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.
