« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Travel (#1) #246b

TONITE on your RADIO!

It’s the Begilufin TRAVEL Special, Part 1!

Boarding passes please, it’s the Begilufin TRAVEL special!

Yes madam, tonight your well-travelled hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott bring you SIXTY COMPLETE MINUTES of radio themed around TRAVEL. Since its birth many years ago, Begilufin has been about travelling with your ears, sailing on the sea of music and running around on forgotten islands Where The Wild Songs Are.

Tonight we dig up a treasure trove of TRAVEL tunes, songs about getting from A to B, often via X, Y and Z. Switch on your radio tonight and join us aboard the Begilufin radio zeppelin for a musical cruise-ical, all without leaving your armchair!

This week on the ‘Island’ section in the middle of our show, we pay tribute to the recently departed Godfather of eccentric and existential pop, Mr.Brian Wilson.

As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.

1. Bill Plummer & The Cosmic Brotherhood - Journey To The East
2. Muhammad Nouri - Biya Bar-e Safar Bandim
3. Zoo Nee Voo - Lonely Highway
4. Andre Williams - I'm Going Down To Tijuana
5. Demis Roussos - She Came Up From The North
6. The A-Cads - Down The Road
7. The Beach Boys - Vegetables
8. The Beach Boys - Sail Plane Song
9. Medeski Martin & Wood - Let's Go Everywhere
10. The Hypnomen - Satan At The Wheel
11. The Koliphones - Voyage To The Sun
12. Phil Moore & His Orchestra - Watch Your Step, Please
13. Estradasphere - A Car Ride In Idealistic Ethiopia

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.
