about_EEFalbum_spookMEOut.txt
2016, around this same time of posting this archive (early-mid october), a swedish teenager under the alias “EEF” posted a playlist titled “spook me out” to their website, and shared it among a now defunct forum. ten days later, famous swedish pop star BEETLE GIRL (real name Slyvia Lofdahl) was shot and killed at one of her concerts at her “LOVE BUG” set.
the culprit, being a teenager, was fucking stupid and their risky crime was executed shittily. disturbing footage captured by fans clearly showed the murderer’s face and various angles of the crime. this made the case very easy to solve and the swedish police force quickly narrowed down the suspects to a certain swedish high schooler.
when the feds stormed the house, the found no one but the teenager in their room. they were found on the computer, peacefully working on their website. feds also confiscated the usb stick containing all the teenager’s website data, which reportedly made the murderer break down and more distressed than the possibility of being sent to jail did.
the feds handled the information very poorly and media outlets following closely with the story publicized the teenagers sites url, causing hundreds to rush and explore it. many screenshots of the site can still be found on the internet. notable contents on the website were a gallery of gross pictures of farm animals breastfeeding, an extensive tetris 99 tips & tricks section, and most notably, a scathing blog post reviewing BEETLE GIRL’s debut album, seeming frighteningly eerie in hindsight. the site was quickly taken down, but not before many made efforts to preserve it. to this day, almost every page is still available online.
after scrolling through the site, users of the forum EEF had posted their playlist link connected the dots, becoming shocked and horrified to find that they were the murderer of the beloved LOVEBUG. news about this relation shook the forum, and outsiders looking in rushed to the site for answers. admins of the site then made the controversial decision to close the forum because of the overwhelming traffic and the boards being taken over by purely EEF-related disscussions.
before the forum was taken down though, people discovered the link to the playlist, which, by that time, was already deleted, as the feds completely wiped EEF’s digital footprint. now, all that remains of EEF are the screenshots/archive.org links to the site.
still, some people came out on other sites, forums, and social media to talk about how “they had seen the playlist”. early sources talking about it are believed to be genuine users, but it then caught on; people falsely/frivolously claimed to have seen the playlist contents too, and then it quickly became a meme/inside joke for a while, making it unclear exactly who to trust.
one person believed to be a geniune source remarked that the playlist was “really shit, which would explain why theyd be such a shitty person and do such a shitty thing”.
another colorfully detailed it as being
“so fucking bad only a few songs were ok. this person had the most internet chronically online, friendless, fatherless taste in music ever. im not even sure it should be called music. it was literally just loud dnb and some other shit idk i listened to it for seven minutes then gave up because i couldnt sit through it. i cant believe they called BEETLE GIRL trash in that review when they made a stupid fucking playlist that was the same song of varying speed and amount of bass.”
after a bit, EEF talk died down and it seems to have faded into obscurity. some jokes about EEF are still made on niche music forums or occasionally allusions to the case can be found in mainstream media but it has mostly died as far as the general public is concerned.
information on EEF’s whereabouts have been kept classified and very well protected. no trustworthy source has provided any additional information on the case.
then, what is this exactly?
we are a group of teenagers who learned about the case through a post about the case on the “Harmony Forever” music forum and were immediately interested in learning more. in the past few weeks, we’ve been collectively combing through archives to find more information on the peculiar case of EEF.
our main project has been trying to piece together the playlist. through digging tremendously deep through archives, contacting sources believed to be trustworthy, and doing a bit of fucking around with a special program to sift through related search results, weve pieced together, what we believe, to be the most complete archive of the EEF playlist.
to remove the work from its unfortunately dark past, and as an excuse for any mistakes (kekw), we’re “renaming/rebranding” the playlist as “halloween disc ’23” (though the playlist title will remain the same). we hope you enjoy our project.
