I love The Breeders. Consider this (hell, their whole damned catalog) as some background music for your solve.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.

Fun theme, once I wrapped my head around it. Clever.
Great puzzle. Loved the revealer.
Good tune.
Agreed – wicked clever…
Very nice puzzle!
But 50A is misclued. Not the spy at all, as most historians have come to agree. “Executed Rosenberg” would work though.
I LOLed at 41A. Great puzzle.
Also, regarding 50A, see: https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2017/01/05/julius-rosenberg-soviet-spying-mark-kramer
This has been going on for years. If BEQ rates it Hard, I breeze through it. If it’s Moderate I get lost 1/2 the time. Go figger
Me, too!!!
Would someone be kind enough explain how the answers to 24A and 42A are related to the clues? I’m baffled
The invisible man, Phil, refers to the Philadelphia Phillies (major league baseball), rivals of the Nationals from Washington DC.
Philatelists are stamp collectors. The clue is parsed as (Phil)-ate-lists.
Hope this helps!
Ahhhhhhh! Ok, got it! Thank you so much for responding Mike H!
Wait a second! My weekly paper has 41 across listed as “Nightmares” which led me to a solution of ‘banes.’ But there’s no such thing as a B-cell battery! Wtf?
Aorta=Artery, not a valve. Pulmonic,Mitral,Tricuspid,Aortic are valves. There is a massive difference.
