Study the Goblin

Hi, I’m the internet goblin—and yes, I take my playlists way too seriously.

Hey! I’m glad you found your way here.

So who am I? I’m just someone who listens to a lot of music. Like… probably too much. This blog started because I needed a place to put all the thoughts I was already having—about old albums, random songs, weird discoveries, and all the stuff that doesn’t always get talked about.

Sometimes I dig into overlooked artists. Other times I’m revisiting a classic I’ve heard a thousand times just to see if it still hits (spoiler: it usually does). I don’t really stick to one genre—I’m more of a “what feels right in the moment” kind of person. If it slaps, it slaps.

So What’s the Blog About?

Basically, it’s just me writing about whatever I’m listening to. That might be:

  • Full album deep dives

  • Random track obsessions

  • Big feelings about songs from 10+ years ago

  • Artists I think deserve more attention

  • And the occasional “okay hear me out, this might be brilliant” post

It’s not formal. It’s not “industry.” It’s just real thoughts about real music from someone who really loves it.

Who’s It For?

If you’ve ever:

  • Played a song on repeat just to catch that one part

  • Got a little too excited when someone mentioned your favorite band

  • Listened to a full album just to understand the last track

  • Or made a playlist for a mood you couldn’t explain—

Welcome. You’re my kind of people.

Random Music Facts About Me

  • First artist I ever loved: MC Hammer (My Mom can probably still recite Here Comes The Hammer word for word because of me)

  • First CD I bought: Relapse by Eminem (guess my age!)

  • Favorite underrated album: Changes weekly.

  • Current listening loop: Something emotional with a good groove.

  • Opinion on guilty pleasures: No such thing.

Let’s Talk

If you ever wanna recommend something, share a song, or yell about a perfect album outro—hit me up. Comments, DMs, whatever works.

Thanks for hanging out here.
I hope you find something that makes you stop and go, "wait... what is this?" in the best way possible.

Spotlight Saturday - Polly Urethane

  (This page links to explicit content, please be advised) Click here to check out their linktree! What better way to start of this blog than with my current obsession? Dark, haunting vocals, and so underrated it's frustrating. Who They Are Polly Urethane is a Denver-based artist (from what I could find anyway, the lack of information only makes me more interested) who began releasing singles in 2021 with (P)Light . From abrasive distortion that screams Alice Glass , to new wave covers , to witch house melancholy , she's a force to be reckoned with. What to Listen To Foal This song has been on repeat since I found it. It hits all the right notes for me, ethereal, deep bass, lyrics I can feel cool for understanding ("I don't want to bear witness to you" is a killer line) Altruism The album Foal comes from, a short (maybe too short) 4 track run that's powerful from start to finish. Why You Should Care Polly Urethane, in her short 8 track discography, has al...

Wordcraft Wednesday - Family Tree (Intro)

Image
     WARNING: This album deals with disturbing topics, such as abuse and cannibalism. Please proceed with caution.     This album, man. It's heavy, dark, disturbing, foreboding, crushing, a tale that sticks with you long after Strangers ends.  Across the next few weeks, I'm gonna be doing a deep dive into the lyrics and themes of the album. We'll be going through song-by-song, analyzing the lyrics and their meaning. So let's get started.    1. Family Tree (Intro)        The beginning of the track starts with a recording of a preacher talking about the importance of a mother, probably Mother Mary. It's a bit hard to make out what he's saying, but some of what I could make out include;  '....a woman, a mother, a mother is the greatest thing on the planet. Other than the lord Jesus Christ, I think that a mother and a woman is one of the important gifts that God gives to this world. A mother is.... and love...a mother is the g...

   Forget the Algorithm A music blog by someone with too many playlists and not enough time That First Listen Magic You know the feeling— A song kicks in and suddenly everything else blurs out. You pause. You rewind. You hit play again, just to hear that moment one more time. That’s the kind of magic I’m chasing. Note: I’ll no longer be linking to Spotify. Going forward, expect links from YouTube Music and Bandcamp. Why This Blog Exists (And Why It’s Not Just Another “New Music Friday” Recap) Music isn’t just about staying ahead of the curve. Sometimes, it’s about looking back. Or sitting with something until it finally clicks. This blog is a mix of: Albums I’ve lived with—the ones I revisit, recontextualize, and re-fall in love with Deep dives into classics—yes, even the overplayed ones (they’re usually worth it) New finds that feel like old friends And the weird little tracks I stumbled across at 2am and can’t stop thinking about I won’t stick to ...
