Wandering around with me and top electro band (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meandering

'wandering' is the definition.
(I know that wandering can be written as meandering)

'with me and top electro band' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'top' suggests taking the first letters (in a down clue, the first letter is top).
'band' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a band of metal).
The first letter of 'electro' is 'e'.
'me'+'and' is 'meand'.
'meand'+'e'+'ring'='MEANDERING'

'around' is the link.

(Other definitions for meandering that I've seen before include "Aimlessly wandering" , "Winding, rambling" , "Serpentine?" , "not in straight line" , "not proceeding directly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
