    Fun! Especially liked the clue on 40A! Plus, I'm always a sucker for a nice Vonnegut quote (57D)
    • Mike D 🤓6:22 · 2022-02-11T15:21:46.058Z
      Agreed on both counts! Great puzzle!
      • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-11T16:37:29.114Z
        Thank you!
      • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-11T16:37:23.915Z
        Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed coming up with the 40A clue as well :D

        Got a recommendation for an album of yours? I want to take a listen to one!

        Hey Sommersmith, this was a great puzzle with fun clues. I enjoyed the self-promotion on 65A (Listening to "Dad Joke" as we speak) and just the general vibe of the clues - gettable without pulling out the OED, but you could still learn something from them in the process (such as 9D).
        • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-11T16:36:07.370Z
          Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for checking out my music! I did make a bit more of an effort with the clues for this one, so I'm glad it paid off!
          • FNCLL 🤓18:20 · 2022-02-12T00:25:51.229Z
            I particularly like "The Sisters of Mercy Again" (of what I've heard so far)!
            • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-12T00:59:53.459Z
              Thank you!

          One of your best Sommrsmith. I really enjoyed this. Middle right took a bit of Googling for me though!
          • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-12T01:01:26.683Z
            I was worried that section might cause some trouble - but very glad you enjoyed the puzzle!
          • Emma Oxford 🤓6:09 · 2022-02-12T00:24:40.021Z
            Nice one! Really fun clues!
            • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-12T01:01:36.625Z
              Thank you!

              Excellent! 58A tickled the amateur linguist in me :)
              • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-02-12T01:03:38.067Z
                Hey, we're all amateur linguists here! :D
              • Lizmiz 🤓45:31 · 2022-02-19T01:10:01.525Z
                I'm embarrassed at how long it took for me to get 65A .. good grief! 😆
