  Nice... ps I got 1d in the first clue from def and the crossers, but I would have gotten the wordplay from the second clue

    I thought that would be thr case for most people. It felt a little too niche to rely on. Thanks for solving!

  Very nice; thank you! I got 1D by researching Destroyer's discography as I am unfamiliar with the band.

  Hey, we're 3D twinsies! It's a fun clue with an elegant lit, and I like that it's paired with 5A. Embarrassing moment of the day: the first anagram I saw for 4A was CHAPO, and I penciled it in, thinking "There must be a drug slang term named after El Chapo that I didn't know about."

    Thanks! Your clue for that word better hid the definition! I think 4a stretches to match part of speech, so I wasn't quite pleased with it.
