Ron & Fez use "Cruisin' For Love" as the intro music for their talk radio show (which can be heard on XM Radio starting Sep. 9th).
I recently discovered that Squeeze's track "Lookin' For Love" is infact a J. Geils Band track (beautifully, as well).
Anybody into The J. Geils Band? Any favorite tracks of their's?

Seriously, I only know their Centrefold stuff, it made TOTP required viewing. Apparently our Elvis had something to do with the production of their 1978 album, they may have toured together around then.

J Giels is a good guitarist who built a blues/rock band around that core. He added Magic Dick on Harmonica and Peter Wolf (former husband of Faye Dunaway) on vocals.
Ironically, their best known record (not sure about sales volume indicators) is called Full House, and it is a live record that was the staple of all beer-drinkin' and hell raisin' parties of my youth. I am not a fan of live recordings in general, but this is a good one...extreme high energy that never stops.
You can pick up "Full House" cheap. It's worth the ride.

I sort of like it. However, a friend of mine once pointed out to me that it has essentially the same melody as "The Muffin Man."

J Geils (John Warren Geils Jr.) RIP.
Elvis has been regularly photographed with Peter Wolf , vocalist with the The J Geils Band. That dates back to 1979 , when , according to a comment in the NME -
Other matters however were discussed — topics ranging from Costello following the J. Geils Band around Europe (he'd been at the final stages of mixing Sanctuary, Geils' last album, got pally with the group and made the trip from France to London to watch them play, so enraptured was he with them) to animated impersonations of Robert De Niro in Mean Streets.
