Well done that man, please pass on my/our thanks if he isn't
lurking.
People say that you can have too much of a good thing. But since
these aren't all that good there shouldn't be a problem. I've
been spare brain run time at work to some use and have got the
following:
1 In The Stead Of Mr. Swarzenegger (sp)
2 Large Benjamin Rave Drug
3 Patel's
4 Cha Sunken Galleons
5 Contaceptive Loaths Mr. Coleman
6 Jeez...That Bloody Sun God
7 Down Trodden Lupus
8 Child's Arthritic Digits
9 Quicken Method
10 Cable Free Bonce
11 Thankfully Deceased
12 The First Town
13 Terminate Conflagrate With Lofty Streets
14 Pentonville Fandango
15 For Certain
16 Silver Black Gold Lock
17 Mash
18 Atmosphere Maker
19 Heroic Bum
20 E
21 Rip Plummet Bangs
22 Le White Pelt Problem
23 False Repeat
24 Not 'Arf
25 Don't Stay Doesn't Stay
26 Too Much
27 One Laugh
28 Inactive Pill
29 Car Lifter's Offspring
30 Mr. Morticia
31 Hoover Sherrin
32 Murk Xmas Barking Terpsichorean Loop
13 might be too obscure and 32 relies on my remembering
their name correctly. The rest just require the ability
to work out how my mind works. ;)
Beware of the pun.

Female singer, for "In The Stead Of" think of letters signed

Cuppa, what sits at the bottom of the sea and shivers?

A bit too unclear really. Someone *moaning* about the Sun God.

:-p
12 The First Town
(Orwellian?) Don't think numerically.
13 Terminate Conflagrate With Lofty Streets
How about Murder Ignite With Hello Ridden. Ian Dury's early
incarnation.
14 Pentonville Fandango
Not mine really and on consideration not at all obvious if you
missed the episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Prison (war time)
and a dance style.
15 For Certain
Without uncertainty. They cite Madness and the Jam as influences
which is rather unusual for an American band.
16 Silver Black Gold Lock
Add the same word to each.
17 Mash
Pulverise.
23 False Repeat
Did Funky Town.
24 Not 'Arf
Probably impossible this one, Not Half - but complete.
Think doughnuts/polos.
25 Don't Stay Doesn't Stay
Belinda Carlise, Jane Weedlin, etc.
26 Too Much
With N X lead singer.
31 Hoover Sherrin
A construction named after that president I assume, and a
mincing fellow often heard on Loose Ends.
32 Murk Xmas Barking Terpsichorean Loop
I'm still not sure about this one, cheesy one or two hit wonders
from early to mid '80s. The ....... Dance Band.

The group or the foodstuff?
Large - King (size)?
That wasn't the answer I intended but it almost fits as well.
The E bit's right but Ben isn't in the answer, it seems wrong
to have things in the clue which are in the answer. Though
Ben does appear at an intermediate stage....
: >20 E
: Ecstacy
The right answer pretty much but not the same group. Mine
had 4 fewer letters.

I think the Loose Ends hint is probably wrong, as he's on the music
quiz thingy not LE IIRC (now).
: Hmm I can't seem to get "Ned's Atomic Dustbin" out of your clues...
Even with Dam and Ned the answer waited on Mike.

I'm feeling guilty for having made too many of them too hard/bad,
so I thought I'd make sure the second time around.
So how many do you think you might have got without the extra
clues?

I had moments of misgivings about my recollection of their name
so thought I'd err on the safe side. I thought Gloom - No "L"
was rather good though I'm sure it's not original.
Thinking of music and you (is that Sal Solo in the background?)
I'll have to return your CDs, which haven't had as much of an airing
as I keep meaning to give them but I've found them initially
interesting and enjoyable.

As you said you weren't very familiar with his stuff, I was intending to
compile you a couple of Frank Zappa sampler CDs. Unfortunately my CD
writer has started acting all temperamental(*) so this'll have to wait a

(*) Actually, my whole (PC)system's been flaky for the last couple of
