Well done for dipping your toe into the murky waters of cryptic crossword compilation.
7A Another clue featuring obscure American musical performers with ridiculous names that elderly Brits find impossible to solve! To be a fair clue, shouldn't it be "3000" rather than "three thousand"?
2D I can't understand how this clue leads to the solution.
I didn't break this thing down for nothing! I liked 1D especially.
Small typo: I think 6A should be (2, 1, 4). I also agree that 2D is rough because the lit is woven into the definition; I'm not experienced enough in cryptics to know whether this is a personal preference of mine.

Wow, wayyyy too clever for my puny brain... at least I didn't panic and got through it somehow... I got a kick out of 3d... most of the other parses were way above my $0 pay grade... thanks as ever for the lessons, ill keep trying in my futile way to keep up
Ps: shouldnt the enum on 6a be 2 1 4? That held me up a bit
