"Playground Love" by Air


Air is one of my favorite groups. Their music is almost always sublime, which makes them a perfect candidate for a Sublime Sunday song here. I was initially going to post "How Does it Make You Feel" because it's melancholy gold...until I listened to an old mix CD I made this week that had "Playground Love" on it.

It's off the soundtrack to the superb Sofia Coppola movie "the Virgin Suicides" (also a great book) and I played it over and over and over for a few years after I got the soundtrack. It's not quite their typical song - the vocals are different and the piano is distinct - but maybe that's why it stands out so much. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Close your eyes and listen:



Bonus - check out the special vibraphone version by Air.

Have you downloaded the Sublime Goodness mixtape yet?
