    I enjoyed the theme (despite not being sure what 38A is remixing!), thanks for sharing! I also found 35A-36A a fun combo. I don't think I understand 1A 🤔
    I noticed a few typos etc in the clues: 22D 'Faitih' for "Faith", and 6D I think should be 'Hasten' not 'Hastens'. for 47A the hyphen seems extraneous? but maybe this is a US-usage thing I'm not familiar with. likewise 57D's clue seems like it should be 'Aligned' but that could also just be unfamiliar usage. hope you don't mind these notes - I enjoyed solving the puzzle 👍

      I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the feedback. Yes, some of those definitely feel like USisms. All good reason for me to be more clear in my future cluing efforts. I was aiming for Bohemian Rhapsody, by the way, but maybe I missed the mark... Thanks again!

        Ohh that is so clever! Now that I know I’m happy to file that as a failure of lateral thinking on my part, I love it :D

      Fun solve, thank you! Felt a few small clue/entry misalignments (all solvable, just not quite in grammatical or other agreement). I still haven't sussed the theme though. Look forward to more!
