« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Comedy (#2) #226
It’s the Begilufin FUNNY special Part 2!
2nite yer hilarious hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott , bring you an hour of funny tunes old and new from around the planet. We hear you howl “but Begilfin, these are not funny times! The world is burning, the sky is falling, time is running out! Where's the fun? Play something serious for once why dontcha?”. Dear concerned listeners, let us assure you we take our job very seriously. An ear that cannot laugh is no longer an ear. Let the funnies in, giggle with the music, dance to the jokes. irritating novelty songs will save us all!
This show’s “Island” section zooms in on the brand new album from Swiss duo CYRIL CYRIL, portentously titled “Le Futur Ça Marche Pas” (The Future Doesn't Work). It is, of course, a dystopian labyrinth of alpine-desert-psychedelic tribal surf music, and as usual, sounds like nothing else.
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.

- Ray Stevens - Funny Man
- Francois De Roubaix - Piti piti pas
- Bo Burnham - Welcome To The Internet

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.
