If the sound-track, and all the video-shots of the mutants in the final stages of rabies-induced mania posing with musical instruments were removed, I might enjoy this

Maybe if they added some sitar[^]?

Hi Sandor, I'm afraid one hangover the sixties left me with was an allergy to sitar music (the other allergic reactions include tie-dyed-tee-shirts, peace-
symbols, and the smell of ganja); yes, it's weird because I do enjoy the sounds of sarod, santur, sarangi.
I'm curious if you have seen Gotye and Kimbra's remarkable duet, "Somebody That You Used to Love" [^] ?
cheers, Bill

And I now realize it's the same Kimbra as "Two Way Street[^]"

Maybe.

How to generate action in public dispute? (11)

I just rescued this from moderation. Not sure what the Spam filter was concerned about.

Thanks, I was a bit surprised by that one, too!

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

(Nah, it's not, but I thought you'd appreciate knowing that we are trying!)
Right on both counts! I'm hoping that I haven't made it too hard ...

I think you have ( made it too hard )

Why have I got stuck on thinking it's controversy ?

Not sure - but it's not.
Would anyone like an alternative clue?

Time for solution methinks

On reflection that's a bit hard, so here's another clue with the same answer:
Disturbance upsets rational 'tec (11)

|

Altercation - now that was much easier
Still can't work it out from the first clue though

Yes, you got it.
The gist of the original clue was intended to be that you derive action by following the instruction "alter cation".

Nothing that couldn't be justified by the question mark, I hope.
It was a bit difficult to get the right difficulty level as it was the first one I've ever put on here. I guess I erred a bit too far on the difficult side as I didn't want to make one that people would get in ten seconds flat. Sorry if I've given anyone a headache in the process ...
