The Art of Selling High-End Real Estate through Drone Photography

Los Angeles is a city of dreams, where sprawling estates nestled in the hillsides or overlooking the Pacific Ocean embody luxury living at its finest. From the iconic Hollywood Hills to the exclusive enclaves of Beverly Hills, each property has a story to tell, a lifestyle to sell. And what better way to convey this narrative than through the lens of a drone? Aerial photography in Los Angeles has witnessed a meteoric rise in recent years, and for good reason. Drones offer perspectives that were once reserved for helicopters or planes, providing a cost-effective and versatile solution for capturing stunning visuals. Whether it’s showcasing the sprawling grounds of a Bel Air mansion or the sleek lines of a modern architectural masterpiece in Venice Beach, drone photography adds a dynamic element to real estate marketing.

Sky-High Marketing: How Drone Videos are Transforming the Los Angeles Real Estate Market

In the competitive landscape of the Los Angeles real estate market, standing out is essential for success. With its sprawling neighborhoods, iconic landmarks, and diverse architectural styles, Los Angeles offers a wealth of opportunities for both buyers and sellers. In recent years, the use of drone videos has emerged as a game-changer in the real estate industry, revolutionizing the way properties are marketed and showcased to potential buyers. From stunning aerial views of luxury estates to immersive neighborhood tours, drone videos have become an indispensable tool for real estate agents and developers looking to captivate audiences and drive sales. In this exploration, we delve into the transformative impact of drone videos on the Los Angeles real estate market, uncovering the significance, benefits, and future prospects of this innovative marketing strategy.

Elevating Property Listings: Captivating Aerial Perspectives

At the heart of drone videos' impact on the Los Angeles real estate market lies their ability to capture captivating aerial perspectives of properties and their surroundings. With drones, real estate agents can showcase properties from a bird's-eye view, providing potential buyers with a comprehensive understanding of the property's layout, features, and surrounding amenities. Whether it's a sprawling estate nestled in the Hollywood Hills or a sleek condominium overlooking the Pacific Ocean, drone videos offer a unique and immersive way to experience properties, allowing buyers to envision themselves living in the space before ever setting foot on the property.

Showcasing Neighborhoods: Immersive Location Tours

In addition to highlighting individual properties, drone videos are also used to showcase the vibrant neighborhoods and communities that make up the fabric of Los Angeles. From trendy urban enclaves like Silver Lake and Venice Beach to exclusive neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills and Bel Air, drone videos offer viewers an immersive tour of the surrounding area, highlighting nearby attractions, parks, schools, and amenities. By providing a comprehensive overview of the neighborhood, drone videos help potential buyers gain a sense of the area's lifestyle, culture, and character, making it easier for them to envision themselves living in the community.

Creating Cinematic Experiences: Stunning Visuals and Storytelling

One of the most compelling aspects of drone videos is their ability to create cinematic experiences that captivate and engage viewers. With their sweeping aerial shots, dynamic camera movements, and high-definition visuals, drone videos transform property listings into cinematic masterpieces, evoking emotion and sparking imagination. From dramatic sunrise shots over the downtown skyline to breathtaking sunset views over the Pacific coastline, drone videos capture the beauty and allure of Los Angeles in ways that traditional photography cannot. By incorporating elements of storytelling and visual narrative, drone videos create a sense of excitement and anticipation, drawing viewers into the story of the property and its surrounding neighborhood.

Standing Out in a Crowded Market: Competitive Advantage for Agents

In a competitive real estate market like Los Angeles, differentiation is key to success. With an abundance of properties vying for buyers' attention, real estate agents must find creative ways to stand out from the crowd and make their listings memorable. Drone videos offer agents a powerful tool for distinguishing their listings and attracting qualified buyers. By offering immersive aerial views, showcasing the surrounding neighborhood, and creating cinematic experiences, agents can capture the attention of prospective buyers and leave a lasting impression that sets their listings apart from the competition. In a city known for its luxury real estate market, drone videos provide agents with a competitive advantage that can make all the difference in closing a sale.

Driving Engagement and Interest: Generating Buzz and Excitement

Beyond their practical benefits in showcasing properties, drone videos also play a crucial role in driving engagement and generating excitement among potential buyers. With their stunning visuals and immersive experiences, drone videos pique viewers' curiosity and inspire them to learn more about the property and its surroundings. Whether shared on social media platforms, embedded in property listings, or featured in email marketing campaigns, drone videos create buzz and anticipation, prompting viewers to take action and inquire about the property. By leveraging the power of drone videos to create excitement and interest, real estate agents can attract qualified leads and accelerate the sales process.

Navigating Regulations and Best Practices: Ensuring Compliance and Safety

While the use of drone videos offers numerous benefits for marketing properties in the Los Angeles real estate market, it is essential for agents and developers to navigate regulations and best practices governing drone operations. In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates the use of drones for commercial purposes, requiring operators to obtain proper certification and adhere to safety guidelines. Additionally, local regulations may vary regarding drone flights in urban areas, near airports, and over private property. Real estate agents must ensure that their drone operations comply with all applicable laws and regulations to avoid legal issues and ensure the safety of both operators and bystanders.

Future Prospects and Opportunities: Expanding the Scope of Drone Marketing

As technology continues to evolve and drone technology becomes more advanced and accessible, the future prospects for drone marketing in the Los Angeles real estate market are promising. From advancements in drone capabilities, such as longer flight times, improved camera quality, and enhanced autonomy, to innovations in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, the possibilities for drone marketing are limitless. Real estate agents and developers have the opportunity to leverage these technologies to create even more immersive and interactive experiences for potential buyers, allowing them to explore properties in virtual reality, visualize renovations and design changes, and make informed decisions from the comfort of their own homes.

Conclusion: Soaring to New Heights with Drone Marketing in Los Angeles Real Estate

Real estate drone video in los angeles have transformed the way properties are marketed and showcased in the Los Angeles real estate market, offering breathtaking aerial perspectives, immersive neighborhood tours, and cinematic experiences that captivate and engage buyers. From elevating property listings to standing out in a crowded market, drone videos provide real estate agents and developers with a powerful tool for driving sales and generating excitement. As technology continues to advance and regulations evolve, the future of drone marketing in Los Angeles real estate holds even greater promise, offering endless opportunities for innovation, creativity, and growth. By embracing the power of drone marketing, real estate professionals can soar to new heights and achieve success in this dynamic and competitive market.

A Waking Nightmare In The City Of Angels

Before me, a view of Los Angeles, seen from above, looking down from an airplane or helicopter, in daylight, fills the screen. The view shifts and changes, with the movement of the airplane or helicopter. At first, I focus on large buildings, but soon, I see a highway with motor vehicle traffic in the foreground and the buildings recede into the background.

My aerial view is accompanied by the movie's opening credits and a song performed with a disco beat.

The one highway in the foreground changes, with the addition of a second highway with motor vehicle traffic, and soon, all I see are more and more highways, flowing with traffic. From above, the highways resemble geometric shapes.

Then, my gaze is directed downward, towards one highway in particular, towards one stretch of one highway, as if one car on the stretch of the one highway is important. Abruptly, at ground level, I see that one car is in motion. It's a yellow taxicab, with one passenger, a man, seated behind the cab's driver.

The movie's opening song concludes, as the yellow cab pulls up to the entrance of a hotel, identified as the Beverly Hilton. the passenger leaves the cab, holding one small piece of luggage, enters the hotel's lobby, walks to the reservation desk and identifies himself with a thick foreign accent as Roger Garnier.

The desk clerk, who looks to be in his late 30's, seems to recognize the man's name. He hands over an attache case which he says was brought to the hotel by Garnier's secretary, along with a small envelope. Garnier inquires about renting a car and signs in for his room.

Once in his room, Garnier inspects the contents of the attache case and opens the small envelope. There's a newspaper (the New York Times), small stacks of money, a small revolver, and bullets. The small envelope he simply opens and throws onto a table.

Garnier is lost in thought. He locates his bed in the next area of his suite and lies down. Something is on his mind.

Within a minute, the phone next to his bed rings. A man's voice on the phone speaks in a foreign language (which I recognize as French) and relays instructions: a man's name and an address in Beverly Hills. The caller tells Garnier to repeat the information which he does.

In a matter of minutes, Garnier is driving his rental car. He arrives at the address given in the phone instructions and, using the phone at the front gate, gives his name and asks to meet with the man named in the instructions. "I'm expected," he says.

Once let inside by a servant, Garnier is ushered into an impressive-looking room and waits for the man, named Victor Kovacs, to meet with him. A woman enters, identifies herself as Mrs. Kovacs, asks whether Mr. Garnier needs a drink, lets him know that her husband will be with him soon, adds that maybe she will speak to Garnier later, and then makes her way to a nearby swimming pool, outside on the premises, where a young man, Kovacs' son, is reclining on a chair.

Inside the impressive-looking room, Garnier is staring at a large painting over a mantle piece. Mr. Kovacs enters and starts a friendly conversation, but when his visitor turns around to look at him, Kovacs does not recognize him.

"Who the hell are you!?," he demands.

Garnier pulls out his revolver and ries one shot, right at Kovacs, above the waist, then quickly finds a way to exit the house and the property, making use of the electronic control of the front gate. Mrs. Kovacs and Kovacs' son, Alex, rush into the house, once they hear the one gunshot.

So...a man arrives by jet airliner, checks into a hotel, is given money, a gun, and bullets that are delivered to him at the hotel. He's, then, given instructions by telephone. He goes to an address, shoots and kills a man, then leaves.

My description does not convey the way that any of the characters in these scenes interact with each other.

Once I saw the contents of the attache case and paid attention to the phone call in the hotel room, I told myself that Garnier had arrived in Los Angeles, expecting to receive details regarding what he expected to do when he left France.

But then...how do I explain to myself why the character Mr. Kovacs is supposed to be murdered? And why does the character, Garnier, murder Mr. Kovacs? I can't come up with reasons.

I hope to find out the answer to each question.

But before I can get my bearings, the plot of this frightening drama quickly becomes tense. Garnier returns to the Beverly Hilton and asks for the key to his room. The same desk clerk tells Garnier that he's been checked out by his -- Garnier's -- secretary. The secretary took Garnier's belongings from the room. Garnier is due to take a flight to San Francisco at the airport. The clerk is confused by the fact that Garnier does not seem to know about this.

"Your secretary brought written authorization," he says.

On the spot, Garnier's facial expression takes on the look of a poker player. He thinks for a moment, then tells the clerk that he made a mistake by not changing the time on his wristwatch and became confused. He, then, turns and leaves.

The clerk calls after him. "Have a good trip," he says.

The conversation between the two characters in this scene is both cryptic and creepy. "What the hell is going on, here?" I say to myself.

The bulk of the plot of the 104-minute movie, THE OUTSIDE MAN, which played in theaters throughout the U.S. in January, 1973, focuses on what this enigmatic paid killer character has to do to stay alive in a strange environment, many miles from his homeland.

In staying focused with the twists and turns of THE OUTSIDE MAN's plot, I have to construct an arm's length relationship with the paid killer character who is played by French actor Jean-Louis Tritignant. I say "an arm's length relationship" because to simply follow along with this paid killer character is to start behaving like an accomplice, so it's best to keep one's distance and pay attention to what is happening throughout Los Angeles.

As the movie's plot plays out, I occasionally notice some gaps in details. Example: how does character X know the address where character Y lives? A gap in details, combined with the large amount of violent situations, reminded me of nightmares that I have had over the years.

In a nightmare, sometimes there will be a transition to a new situation that, when I wake up, at first, does not make sense, but, when I was dreaming, did make sense.

I am being deliberately vague about the way that THE OUTSIDE MAN's plot plays out. When I reached the grim conclusion of the movie, I figured out that there is a narrator who is separate from the main character -- the paid killer character. The main character is not telling the story. The narrator is more important than the paid killer character.

If any of this sounds interesting to you who are reading my words, track down a copy of this movie on DVD. THE OUTSIDE MAN is a forgotten movie and should be better known.

How to Align TV Aerial Satellite

New Post has been published on https://fashiondesigne.com/how-to-align-tv-aerial-satellite/

How to Align TV Aerial Satellite

Do you know with all the installation of the TV aerial you save lots of pounds or bucks? The question is how? Because You will find heard that a TV airborne is very expensive, so how are you able to save money?

The solution is very clear: you can make the life span long of the TV aerials with the proper care. If you just maintain the alignment of the television aerial, you can use the tv airborne set up for long. The one thing ringing in your mind is only position? It sounds easy, actually, it can be difficult. In this article, you will learn more about the position of the tv aerial.

Moving the Airborne position

Ill simply start by saying that airborne installation can be described as a dark art. I don’t mean everything sinister with this, just that what realy works well in one area might not work in another. I have locate many situations where airborne signals can be drastically enhanced by moving the airborne fixation position a meter or two from the initial fixation position. This means that what realy works for other properties in your town may not necessarily work for your own.

Of course , in case your neighbour is getting a reliable TELEVISION signal, you probably expect this too. But don’t get it for granted. Sometimes I use installed a TV antenna/aerial on one side of a fireplace plus found that it would just work on the other side of the exact same fireplace! When testing along with my aerial alignment device, I also had a TV aerial/antenna that doesn’t work in a fire but works well inside a mezzanine, which is inconsistent with great aerial installation practice. Therefore the phrase “ tv aerial set up is a black art! ”

Before repairing the tv aerial/antenna in one placement and trying to align this with the best TV transmission device in your area, I recommend that you do a sign test first to confirm this is a suitable position to fix your own TV antenna, I use the HD spectrum Promax Ranger, but I appreciate that many people reading this blog will certainly align their TV aerials/antennas on their own and that going out plus spending a few thousand lbs on test equipment might defeat the goal of doing the positioning yourself, would be cheaper in order to call a TV antenna company. But whether it is that regular or semi-regular, good alignment tools may only cost you a couple of 100 pounds, but could save you hrs by aiming your antennas.

Tom Cruise’s 320-Acre Colorado Mountain Ranch Is For Sale!

Stardom surged for Tom Cruise in 1983 when he was 19 and slid into the hallway in Risky Business. Now in his fourth decade as one of the world’s most successful and wealthy actors, Tom owns homes in Beverly Hills; Clearwater, Florida and a 320-acre ranch in Telluride, Colorado that he helped design and is now for sale at $39.5 million.

The Telluride home holds a lot of history for Cruise. It is where he enjoyed time with his children and much of his marriage to Katie Holmes. It was also the location of his last major interview with Oprah, a follow-up to Tom’s exuberant couch-jumping episode with Oprah in 2005. Oprah was so taken with the Cruise ranch and its views that she later bought her own home nearby.

photo © Joshua Johnson

The first impression of Tom’s home driving up the mile-long driveway from the gated entrance is the staggering view of the mountains and valleys. Designed to take full advantage of the views, the 11,512-square-foot living space includes the 10,000-square-foot, four-bedroom main house and a three-bedroom guest house.

Blending in with its wooded surroundings, the structures are clad in rustic-bleached- cedar timbers and native stone with beamed ceilings and large expanses of glass. In addition to a large eat-in kitchen, living room and dining room that will seat a crowd, there is a gym, recreation room and library. Detached and in its own aspen grove is the charming guest house. Combined, there are a total of seven bedrooms and nine full baths.

The grounds are equally impressive in all seasons. Outside is a sports court for tennis, basketball or ice hockey and a private trail system with access to and views of the 14,000-foot-high mountains in the distance with a private gate into the Uncompahgre National Forest. There are hiking and riding trails and both dirt bike and snowmobile tracks which thread throughout the 320 acres.

Telluride has long been a destination for celebrities who like to ski or just get away and chill from their high-octane professional lives and now is even more popular for second-home buyers during the pandemic. Other stars who also find Telluride to be a great getaway include Robert Redford, Jerry Seinfeld, and designer-to-the-stars Ralph Lauren.

photo © Joshua Johnson

As with most famous celebrities, Tom has claimed his share of the gossip pages whether it be over his marriages, children or film-role formulas. However, as the reviewers of his award-winning films agree, it doesn’t matter what he says or does or the latest gossip, Cruise is one of the few actors who can be cast in any film with any script and will likely take the film to the top of the box office ratings. Working around the constraints of Covid-19, Tom’s upcoming films are Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7. He is well known for taking risks for his films, even doing his own risky stunts. Rumor has it that he will be going up in Elon Musk’s Space-X rocket to the space station to film Mission: Impossible 7.

George Steinmetz, Beverly Hills, CA

George Steinmetz (born 1957) is an American photographer. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, Smithsonian, TIME, The New York Times Magazine, and he is a regular contributor to National Geographic magazine. In these photos pictured above, they explore how humanity came to understand the causes of climate change and failed to act. George was assigned to take aerial photographs on every continent over the course of one year to document how we can see the effects of that inaction today.

Top 10 Personal Favorite Hit Songs from 2005

16 to 17 years old. Finished public highschool, started public university in September. Looking back at 2003-2005 feels like looking at ten years of my life condensed in three. Exhausting.

Also we’re now past the halfway point of these lists! And this is another exceptionally good year for hits.

Disclaimers:

Keep in mind I’m using both the year-end top 100 lists from the US and from France while making these top 10 things. There’s songs in English that charted in my country way higher than they did in their home countries, or even earlier or later, so that might get surprising at times.

Of course there will be stuff in French. We suck. I know. It’s my list. Deal with it.

My musical tastes have always been terrible and I’m not a critic, just a listener and an idiot.

I have sound to color synesthesia which justifies nothing but might explain why I have trouble describing some songs in other terms than visual ones.

So I finished highschool that year. I met my best friend ever in late 2004 and we even had some sort of small crew back then! I had a bit of a crush on her but alas it wasn’t meant to be. I don’t know who invented the term ‘friendzone’ but they got its meaning completely wrong because staying friends basically forever with someone you love can be a fantastic thing. Things weren’t rosy nor perfect that year, of course, and I still was miserable at home, but I’m not sure where I’ll be today without her. She's amazing and she still lives nearby nowadays. Shoutout: if you read this, E., you pretty much saved my life.

I was still making tapes and burning CDs, still using my trusty portable cd player, and always listening to stuff while drawing during recess, sitting in a corner and doodling stuff in my sketchbook on the floor like a weird gangly goblin.

I had already started to buy Rock Mag in August 2004 but it really became my monthly ritual in 2005, and it lasted until autumn 2007. A reliable source of posters to cover my walls. At that point they were almost completely covered with paintings, drawings, torn pages from magazines and posters of Linkin Park, Mylène Farmer, Placebo and Indochine.

I also had a better access to the family computer and was a bit more involved online. Might explain why the number of singles I was buying plummeted.

It’s time once again for some (ok, many) honorable mentions!

Beverly Hills (Weezer) - I don’t even know why I like this but I do.

Bouger Bouger (Magic System) - I never understood why it was cool to make fun of these guys in my country. Their music is so happy and fun.

Holiday (Green Day) - My brother loved that band and listened to it a lot, and I was 100% fine with that.

Wake Me Up When September Ends (Green Day) - See above.

Gabriel (Najoua Belyzel) - That is so-bad-it’s-good at its finest right here.

Candy Shop (50 Cents) - As a sucker for terrible puns (HA, get it?? I’m sorry I’ll get out immediately) I can’t help it, I love this.

Love Generation (Bob Sinclar) - Stay tuned for more of this guy on another list.

Listen to Your Heart (DHT) - The original is better, but it was really nice to hear that again on the radio.

We Be Burnin’ (Sean Paul) - Not my favorite but still damn good.

Bad Day (Daniel Powter) - I even bought the single. What can I say except “relatable”.

All About Us (Tatu) - I bought that single as well. Almost made the list.

Le Bateau Blanc (Karol) - The last cut from the list. Not even kidding at all. I’m still not sure if Keane deserves to be on the list more than this to be honest.

Like it happened previously with Placebo not being elligible at all, it is a complete outrage that Precious by Depeche Mode isn’t elligible for this list. Like, what the f█ck. Playing the Angel was one of the defining albums of the year to me. I’m not even sure it would have topped the list, maybe #2, but it still feels wrong.

There’s another band who’s complete absence from this top feels kinda painful to me, considering how much I loved their new album at the time. Indeed, no single from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance is elligible for this list, and it feels wrooooong, man. I love I’m not okay and especially Thank You For the Venom, but even Helena would have been nice. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

For some unfathomable reason, Get The Party Started (Pink) and, even more unexplainable, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (Culture Club) recharted in France in 2005 and both made the year-end top 100. The fact they are both elligible but all the stuff mentioned above this paragraph isn’t makes no sense whatsoever.

And now, the actual list!

10 - Everybody’s Changing (Keane)

US: Not on the list / FR: #48

Pretty great even though it’s not my favorite Keane song. That would be Crystal Ball. It’s fantastic and as a person who is scared, above all, by existential horror, the music video is terrifying. Sadly, it’s not elligible for my 2006 list, so Everybody’s Changing will have to be its slightly less good proxy for 2005.

9 - Et Si En Plus Ya Personne (Alain Souchon)

US: Not on the list / FR: #100

This has to be the most borderline non-elligible song ever put on one of my lists. But I’m glad it is still elligible. Remember the song on the 1993 list that I called an “anticapitalist ballad”? Well that’s the same guy. And this time it’s a song about how religion can cause both beautiful things and war, and how “the sky might be empty” because of us. It’s great. Here’s a translation. You’re welcome.

8 - F█ck Them All (Mylène Farmer)

US: Not on the list / FR: #62

Aaaaaaaaand unfortunately for everyone including myself, she’s back. Not her best song by a mile (told you it was all downhill after C’est Une Belle Journée didn’t I), but still pretty damn good, and that music video where she’s destroying bird-like scarecrows is amazing so here’s a bonus gif.

7 - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day)

US: #7 / FR: Not on the list

My brother LOVED this band and listened to it SO MUCH. And yeah, they were very good and that song might just be my favorite one from them. I don’t have much more to say about it, you all know it already. Let’s move on.

6 - Sugar We’re Going Down (Fall Out Boy)

US: #40 / FR: Not on the list

Again, it feels wrong that both Fall Out Boy AND Panic! at the Disco were elligible for this list but not My Chemical Romance. I was never a fan of these two acts, at all, and their supposed rivalry was kinda hilarious to watch from afar. With a bucket of popcorn. While listening to Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge and nodding sadly, of course.

This is still a great song, mind you.

5 - Feel Good Inc (Gorillaz)

US: #37 / FR: Not on the list (really? wtf happened)

Again, I live with someone who loves Gorillaz, so I claim overexposure.

It’s still #5 on a list based on a very, very good year.

That’s quality for you.

4 - Speed of Sound (Coldplay)

US: #57 / FR: Not on the list

A new chapter in the ascension of Coldplay from “Johannes hates this band” to “this is one of the best mainstream bands we have”. An epic saga, years in the making, and Speed of Sound was basically the last scene of Act One. Not my favorite song from X&Y (that would be Talk), but still really good. Hell, I even bought the single, and goodness knows I wasn’t buying a lot of singles anymore in 2005.

Holy shit, half of these are Benassi Bros garbage. None of them are elligible, though! Dodged a bullet there, didn’t I.

3 - Numb/Encore (JayZ + Linkin Park)

US: #93 / FR: #75

What a blessed mashup. For a few magical months in 2005, all the punk goth kids and the hiphop kids were united under this song’s banner and it felt like world peace had been achieved. It could have pissed off everybody but no! Everyone loved it instead!

“But Johannes, this is just Numb all over again with different lyrics. You can’t keep putting Linkin Park at the top of your lists forever.” Sadly no, I can’t. I know. It’s only #3. Don’t yell at me. Also, the next two songs are genuinely better, at least in my opinion!

2 - Lift Me Up (Moby)

US: Not on the list / FR: #31

I heard this on the radio and bought the album, Hotel, on the grounds that Natural Blues from 2000 was one of my favorite songs ever and than it wouldn’t hurt to actually own an album of that guy after all that time (”all that time” being only five years, but please keep in mind the past three years had felt like ten, and in my mind, they still do ; trauma is one hell of a thing). And a couple of days later that year, we went to Disneyland for my brother’s birthday, and I only had a small bag that could contain my cd player, and the earphones and nothing else. So I could only put one cd in it and that was it.

So I picked Hotel, and I basically retreated inside of it whenever my mother was starting to talk aggressively, which happened a lot in the various queues. So in the end, I listened to that cd a LOT that day and every single time, it would calm me while still being energetic enough to keep me enthusiastic for the various Disneyland rides.

Lift Me Up is energetic but cold, aerial but distant, uplifting but sinister. It was the perfect song for someone who was, at the time, trying to tone down their aggressivity and anger and trying to be masculine but in a softer way, while still staying themselves and not giving up the fight. I absolutely adore this song. It’s perfect.

It instantly joined my list of favorite songs ever that year.

1 - Mr Brightside (The Killers)

US: #16 / FR: Not on the list (this feels so wrong)

If I had to make a top ten of the hits of that entire decade, this would be #2. No debate whatsoever.

Because holy shit.

I was already sold on that band after hearing Somebody Told Me on the radio, which sadly isn’t elligible for this list (I instantly loved it, first because it was catchy as hell, but also because I love the chorus “Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend / Who looked like a girlfriend / That I had in February of last year", because as you already know I tend to be extremely literal minded and my immediate conclusion was “wow you two dated the same trans guy before and after he was out of the closet” and that was highkey relatable and no you can’t change my mind). So I bought the album about two weeks after, mostly blind, because the cd store was playing it and also because Rock Mag said it was great.

That was an understatement. Hot Fuss is one of the best albums of the entire decade and you probably know that already. The first song, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, floored me right after putting the cd in the player and it felt like the album already reached its peak and there were still 12 tracks after that.

The very next track was Mr. Brightside. And. How do I put this.

There’s like a dozen interpretations possible for this song, and most of them are something like “this guy is so anxious and paranoid he’s gonna break up with this girl because he keeps imagining her cheating with another guy and it might not even be real.”

Now might be a good moment to remind you that at the time, I had a crush on my best friend, and was still firmly in the closet. And this song starts, as everyone knows, with “Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine“.

So... yeah. This is the song that accidentally convinced me the closet sucked and did nothing to deter bullies anyway, and that after more than three years of feeling mostly miserable, I should try to be myself and screw the consequences. I know it wasn’t the original intention behind that song. But still.

Godspeed, The Killers. I owe you one, guys.

Next up: Still not able to put Indochine nor Placebo on a list, OP is this close to punching a wall

☆ ABOUT TELEVISION SHOW/SERIES Streaming television is the digital distribution of television content, such as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 10 Episode 17 shows, as streaming video delivered over the Internet. Streaming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 10 Episode 17 stands in contrast to dedicated terrestrial television delivered by over-the-air aerial systems, cable television, and/or satellite television systems. The use of streaming online video and web television by consumers has seen a dramatic increase ever since the launch of online video platforms such as YouTube and Netflix ☆ TV SERIES The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 5650s. Televised events such as the 5665 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 5665 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 5656 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The 56106 World Series inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 56108, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “Mr Television” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 10, 5665 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. The first national color broadcast (the 56610 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 5, 56610. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 5666, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 5665, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completoly all-color network season. ☆ FORMATS AND GENRES See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional series). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game shows.[citation needed] A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 5680s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode, it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 5680s, many series feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television series to have this kind of dramatic structure,[10][better source needed] while the later series Babylon 6 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intended five-season run.[citation needed] In 506, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[6] Some also noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 506, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television. ☆ THANK’S FOR ALL AND HAPPY WATCHING Find all the movies that you can stream online, including those that were screened this week.
