« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Insects (#1) #261
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin INSECTS special!
Buzz, buzz, whirrr click frrrrzzz!
Perk up your antennae, tonight your two-legged ghosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott bring you 60 six-legged minutes of songs about INSECTS!
There are 1.4 billion INSECTS for every human being here on Earth, so it’s a good idea to be nice to them and write songs celebrating their existence.
We ran around the world with our musical butterfly net and captured as many INSECT songs as possible to BUG you with. That tickling feeling on the back of your neck? It’s a perfect specimen of Begilufinicus Radiophonicus and it wants a little word in your ear.
Tune in tonight and let fireflies & co. brighten up your world!

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.
