“Backing Tracks” by Pearl Jam

After a long time, I have once again decided to publish a non-soundtrack entry on my blog. There may very well be more of these in the future and I’m already thinking about grouping them into their own category on the main page. But don’t worry, dear film music aficionados, HQCovers will continue to be a blog primarily dedicated to original and customized soundtrack artworks. Still, please bear with me if I deviate from this approach every now and then. For example, today. A few weeks ago I accidentally stumbled on an open source freeware called “Ultimate Vocal Remover” and…

“Steve Jobs” by Daniel Pemberton

There was a time when I considered myself to be one of the people commonly known as Apple fanboys. And this despite the fact that the only products with an Apple logo on the back that I ever owned were exclusively iPods and iPhones. Nevertheless, I’ve held the brand and the lifestyle associated with it in the highest regard. Apple was synonymous for the creatives, for the artists and, above all, for freethinkers.

“The Witch” by Mark Korven

Imagine being a child again, sitting around a campfire late at night wrapped in a blanket while someone tells you a scary story. One of those tales that usually happened a long time ago to someone who knew someone… you know how it goes. As you listen closely, a story unfolds in your head that seems almost as if it were true, as if what is being told could actually have happened. You start to believe that it might have happened! Through the decades, these kind of fairy tales have become firmly entrenched in people’s memories and have been retold…

“Avatar” & “Avatar: The Way of Water” by James Horner, Simon Franglen

I don’t really have an awful lot to say about this blog post or its custom covers. And I also don’t feel like adding my opinion on the Avatar movies to the thousands of reviews and essays already out there. So instead I thought I’d just share some random trivia that I’ve picked up over the last few days while researching James Cameron and his filmography. Welcome to watchmojo dot com, I’m heidl and here are ten incredible facts you didn’t know about director mastermind James Cameron. (No.6 will make you cry!) ALIEN$ This is a rather popular story, but…
