……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………
Tune in tonight and FREE YOUR MIND! (and ears, legs, nostrils etc)!
On our ‘island’ section tonight we pay tribute to the very sadly departed Joseph Byrd, founder member of the groundbreaking radical electrodelic group The United States Of America, whose sole LP from 1968 smashed down musical walls and paved the way for many more open-minded musicians for years to come.
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.

- Pan Ron - When Will You Be Free
- Build An Ark - You Gotta Have Freedom

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.
