LOVE ME TINDER: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]

Elvis title reference in today’s puzzle means, of course, that yours truly posts a Cornelius live show alongside the puzzle. Lest you think I’ve completely lost my marbles (too late, I never had ’em), the reason for the link is at the 13:55 mark. Regardless, I can’t even believe this video exists. Seriously, watch the whole thing and get your face melted. Rather underated band there. I was lucky to see ’em in a shoebox-sized club and, well, as you can gather from the clip, they brought the full arena experience. Pretty awesome stuff.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Thanks for the link! I saw that tour at Tramp’s in NYC, but I don’t recall Cornelius being on the bill. What I do remember is the Flaming Lips wearing jackets in the middle of summer, apparently this was an end of tour ritual?! The other thing was Robyn Hitchcock was extremely verbose and witty; when Sebadoh came next, Lou Barlow, in a very self effacing manner said, “I’m not gonna even try to top that!”.
Cornelius was great though, I do regret not seeing him during that period.
Ya gotta be kiddin’ me! Even with check/reveal/guess — yikes. This one killed me.
Nice fresh theme. I realized the long answers were scrambled, but I didn’t really get what was going on until I was all done. Very clever.
Not too tough. Had no idea what Tinder was until I read the write-up at crossword fiend. Pop-culture extremism.
Me, too. My excuse is I’m down with pneumonia, but I can NOT figure out the gimmick. I see that letters are re-arranged, but what’s the pattern??
Great theme! Even with the title, it was tricky. It took BEAUJOLAIS to fully clue me in to what was going on.
