Comedian and social commentator John Safran examines the music industry. The show is a mix of interesting interviews and information, investigative journalism, hilarious skits and well-known Australian bands performing their songs with musical instruments from foreign cultures.

Absolutely brilliant. Worth watching just for the comedy as John Safran is hilarious but the interesting, often inside-industry, information and the quirky musical numbers take this to another level. You'll coming away highly amused, better informed and wonderfully entertained.

A pity there was no second season but I guess Safran doesn't like to stick to one subject for too long as his subsequent offerings, almost as good as this, were on things as diverse as religion and race relations.
