"  Photo: Getty Images The static electronic beats and pulsating vocals of Sleigh Bells&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Crown on the Ground&amp;quot; pumps energy into the opening scene of Sofia Coppola&amp;#039;s latest film, The Bling Ring, in theaters today. The music is at once alarming and faintly sexual, and it sets the tone for the salacious true story about a gang of Los Angeles teenagers who burglarized the homes of the rich and famous, taking their luxury possessions and wearing them as their own. In a Sofia Coppola film, it is this use of music and sound, more than the dialogue or even plot, that makes a scene feel rich with emotion and allows the viewer to develop a sense of intimacy with the story. &amp;quot;I tried to [include] music that the kids would really be listening to,&amp;quot; Coppola said at a talk at Lincoln Center this week. In tribute to her latest film, we&amp;#039;ve rounded up the greatest music from the Coppola universe since 1999 (as the wife of a rock star it&amp;#039;s no surprise she has great taste): The Movie: The Virgin Suicides  &amp;quot;Playground Love&amp;quot; by Air It is impossible to think of The Virgin Suicides without hearing the sleepy summertime sound of Air&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Playground Love.&amp;quot; The song encapsulates a soft frivolity of youth and the foreboding of the tragedy that will accompany the last scenes of the film (and the last pages of the Jeffrey Eugenides book it was based on). Brian Reitzell, the drummer from the French band, has created original scores for four out five of Coppola&amp;#039;s films. &amp;quot;Crazy On You&amp;quot; by Heart We also love the vintage &amp;#039;70s tracks played throughout, like this steamy song. The Movie: Lost in Translation  &amp;quot;Too Young&amp;quot; by Phoenix  In a movie stark with loneliness, this now iconic song by Phoenix is effervescently uplifting. For all of her films, Coppola works with sound designer Richard Beggs to make soundtracks that mix rock music and electronic tracks. &amp;quot;Just Like Honey&amp;quot; by Jesus and Mary Chain This romantic track makes movie magic in the film&amp;#039;s final scene. The Movie: Marie Antoinette  &amp;quot;Ceremony&amp;quot; by New Order In this film Coppola blend&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;80s and &amp;#039;90s rock with classical music concertos. &amp;quot;Ceremony&amp;quot; plays as the young queen (Kirsten Dunst) celebrates her 18th birthday and watches the sunrise. &amp;quot;Fools Rush In&amp;quot; by Bow Wow Wow Classic hits from Bow Wow Wow like &amp;quot;I Want Candy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fools Rush In,&amp;quot; fit perfectly into the films decadent aesthetic. The Movie: Somewhere  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll Try Anything Once&amp;quot; by The Strokes This song creates a feeling of sweet nostalgia as Johnny (Stephen Dorff) and his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning) play ping pong on the patio of Chateau Marmont and have a tea party suspended beneath the water of the hotel pool. &amp;quot;So Lonely&amp;quot; by The Police This Sting pick is one of our favorite Coppola throw-back tracks. The Movie: The Bling Ring  &amp;quot;Bad Girls&amp;quot; by M.I.A. With lyrics like, &amp;quot;Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well,&amp;quot; this song is the unofficial anthem of The Bling Ring crew. &amp;quot;212&amp;quot; by Azealia Banks The party track is played as Emma Watson (Nicki) and Taissa Farmiga (Sam) dance in a slow motion haze at an L.A. club. &amp;quot;Bankrupt!&amp;quot; by Phoenix After two years in the making, the nearly 7 minute-long song is not to be missed. It&amp;#039;s the final hit streamed before the credits roll. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
