« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Fashion (#2) #230
TONITE on your RADIO!
Part 2 of the Begilufin FASHION Special!
Lights, camera, FASHIONACTION!
Yes, we’re finally back again.
Our last planned live show was cancelled due to illness and injury, but to paraphrase Barry Manilow, we made it through the rain, and Begilufin is back.
Tonight, your sharp-dressed hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott, strut the radio catwalk for 60 minutes will a show full of tunes about FASHION. Clothes, shows, hairstyles, make-up - if you can wear it, there are songs about it. Our musical wardrobe tonight promises to be a spinning carousel of absurd sonic sartorial suggestions from around the globe. Music from as many different countries as possible. Frustrated by wearing the same old outfits this autumn? Looking for an answer to your style problems? Holes in your socks? Can’t dance in those shoes? Listening to us will only worsen these issues, but we promise it will be FUN.
FASHIONABLE FUN.
On our “Island” tonight, we investigate the newly reissued soundtrack to forgotten 70s Italian freak-western “Matalo!”, where tumbleweed and intense squinting stares from sunburnt men meets fuzz rock overdrive.
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.
