« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Sky (#1) #221b

TONITE on your RADIO!

It’s the Begilufin SKY special!

Tonight your heavenly hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott clear the clouds from your ears with 60 minutes of tunes themed around the SKY. Join us to fly up, up and away on a supersonic journey through time with an international selection of SKY music. We’ll rocket past the stratosphere, pierce the exosphere and tumble into the outer reaches of musicosphere where only foolish ears dare venture.

On our "Island" section tonight, we listen to a new EP by intriguing Uruguayan/ US singer-songwriter Juan Wauters.

Don’t look down! As always, this is spontaneous and rather silly radio - we always throw in a couple of mistakes for your entertainment.

1. The Incredible String Band - Little Cloud
2. O Sister - (We've Got To) Put That Sun Back in the Sky
3. Katerine - 8ème Ciel
4. Stereolab - So Is Cardboard Clouds
5. Can - Mother Sky
6. Inga-Dingo - Sunlight
7. Juan Wauters - P.O.V.
8. Juan Wauters - Nube Negra
9. Medeski, Martin & Wood - On an Airplane
10. William Shatner - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
11. Jaga Jazzist - Oslo Skyline

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.
