That staircase riff.

This will probably interest about three of you, if I'm lucky.

For some reason, I'm inordinately fond of this one guitar riff that I've been calling "the staircase riff." It's the one that sounds like the music is bouncing down a flight of stairs. ("da-dahn-dahn-dah-dahn"). You'd probably recognize it from "Pretty In Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs, and I'd also found it in "Stuck With Me" by Green Day. And, for some reason, I could have sworn I'd heard it in a Pretenders song - but that's the only part I remembered.

Finally came across it on iTunes: "The Wait." That's three, which means it's enough for a playlist, if not a real mix. If you know of other songs where it pops up, let me know.

(This is clearly not a real update. There'd be content otherwise.)

silly, small-talk, music
