Greenhouse Brandy Effect Songs Mixtape @ SupernetCelebrities.Com 2009

been well known around Los Angeles for their show organizing and local tape sellings at all the record stores,...and sometimes Higgins would go down to Torrance and 'burn out' beach in Redondo and literally sell tapes out of the trunk of his car as he handed out flyers to yet 'another G.e. concert performance' as G.e. would play with as many local bands as they could. From Prop 13 to the White Kapz to Death & taxe$ to the Jim Mellon Quartet to F.Y.P. to Guttermouth to Meatwagon to Mastermind to Joe Groovey Dude to Das Klown to 'you name it' in the South Bay; G.e. played with them all ! And quite often, G.e. weren't just 'part of' the show; THEY 'WERE' THE SHOW ! Suddenly,..on mtv and in the media of kroq and magazines like Rolling Stone, Hagins' beloved 'underground' music had become all the rage of the land across the United States,..yet Hagins felt he had nothing; not only no label deal ...either major or indie but infact suddenly no real band either as long time G.e. bassist Rick Carmody was slowly phasing out of G.e. in favor of other punk rock and more funner 'jam bands' around the South Bay of Redondo Beach,... So in June of 1992, hagins decided to lash out.. In his own melodic crazy way,.... The June 1992 'Agenda' cd went on sale at practically every record store in Los Angeles County as funded and financed by Hagins alone...and of the 8 songs was this new 'ahead of its time classic epic' called simply; THE BALLAD OF KURT COBAIN NOW, try to imagine this song coming out in June of 1992 !! With Cobain's popularity running super-high,..but not with the tiny but determined Hagins.... "I'll never forget what the guys at Goboy Records said when they heard this song,..they were like - what the fuck is this ???? (Laughs)" says Hagins THE BALLAD OF KURT COBAIN has to be one of the most bizarre songs by Greenhouse effect what with it's Ventures like Surf tinged vibe that then suddenly breaks into Rush's "Natural Sciense' in the middle bizarrely quite indeed ! the song also contains a clumsy 3/4 drum patterned part that recalls the 1989 G.e. song itself '3/4'....before then going back into the melodically infectuous surf like 'mellow' song again - that really has nothing lyrically to do with Kurt Cobain,..... Ofcourse the insistant hagins would then mail copies to Flipside Magazine getting assurances that the song 'will' make its way to Cobain himself as well as mailing copies to Geffen, sst, and sub pop records, and many other zines too - "all those fanzines or 'zines' were very important to g.e. - we really loved this magazine called FACTSHEET FIVE " remembers hagins "Flipside magazine and BEN IS DEAD ZINE were important too - sometimes they really hated us ,..but quite oddly,..we would get 'good reviews' in these too sometimes - ....and ....they better say nice things about g.e. 'cause i never forget (Laughs) " says hagins Ofcourse its well known now that "WHITE BLACK THANG' is a part of the 8 song 'Agenda' album as well as "Search and Destroy" and "People - that won't back down".... Only one more cassette would come out from G.e. - the final one; 1992's BIG TEEN DOLLAR$ - ANOTHER BRAZEN ATTACK UPON COBAIN and Nirvana ,..before G.e. split in November of that year In 1994, G.e. issued the "Fountain" weird cd and then in 1995 THE ROCK OPERA WHITE SUBURBAN LIAR$ - NOW A CLASSIC as it contains the track "Misogynistia"...... ========================== ---------------------------------- No Greenhouse Effect song is better known and discussed like 1991's AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL from 'Going Legit'. This 1976 era Genesis 'A Trick of the tail" meets 1972 'Captain beyond' meets 1977 Rush -like song is one of the best and most talked about by South Bay (Redondo beach/ Torrance) Grunge rock Super Stars of 2009 GREENHOUSE EFFECT. "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL' was the central theme song of the rock opera "Maury - A lad insane" and the original 1990/91' era movie script ,...about a San Pedro transient - just back from the war against Saddam in iraq in 1990....only to find himself homeless, drunken, and writing poetry in the streets,...as society passes him by,.... "I just wanna fly but together we can die - very high" extolls Clark Hagins "You don't like goin' to work but you don't like bein' at home,... You can't take bein' alone but you can't stand anyone !" exclaims Hagins in another poetic verse "Crime in my mind - doin' time - Schwarzenegger on TV" writes Haggins in another line of this classic song that fumbles into odd time signatures even weirder than 1989's "3/4" This song discusses the pathetic meltdown of America as only Hagins can,...the whole thing is epic,...Rick Carmody provides deft bass handlings with the weird time changes in this wild accoustic meets electric psychedelic thriller !! The drum bashing by Clark hagins here in the studio version is nice but to fully understand this song, you probobly had to see it performed live as with drummer Marty Silva (Crucial note; the live footage at the 'reactre' club in Manhattan beach California with Silva is mandatory G.e. viewership,....g.e. 'always' played this song live in their setlist - and it was always one of the most important songs in the 'story' that was and 'is' G.e. ! ============== --------------------- Awe the classic. Of all the songs in the huge illustrious G.e. catologue, there is probobly no bigger classic than the stirring "Addicted"from 1992. This song (and ofcourse it's epic video detailing the life of Clark the famous Shark) rocks so well and so good with it's Doors-meets-Batlord-meets-Bowie meets Strawberry Alarmclock weevings that it has grown to be one of those tracks "more known than G.e. is known itself!",....Like 'White Black Thang" and "Brandy",...'Addicted' is a gripping piece of serious songwriting without an ounce of cheese or suck ANYWHERE near it !! This 'accoustic' meets drumming song moves along in a way similar but no to "People(that won't back down)"......THE ANGST FILLED COLD LYRICS ARE INTENSE MY FRIEND; "i CAN'T STRAY FROM YOU - i'M ADDICTED,...i MUST OBEY STRICTLY - i'M ADDICTED" - ,...and when i pray darlin' - i'm addicted,...and as i say this; I'm addicted,..... This classic song goes well way past G.e. into the territory of "I'm only sleeping' or "Nowhere man" by the Beatles indeed ! Its got it all; Great playing, atmosphere, ambiance, passion, Dark cold emptyness, death, alone-ness, and a 'feel' unmatched,.... The David Bowie-like accoustic aura is spell binding indeed,...and this song is not anywhere near a garage unlike lotsa G.e. that we know of -all too well... A stunner A classic ! Notes; the crucial keyboard breakdown in the middle By Bill Krodel was written by Clark hagins and it adds a Doors meets Bee Gees meets Roy Orbison vibe that is unreal indeed ! ================== ----------------------- The Song "Actor" by Greenhouse Effect. The "Cheesey" slow 'metal-like ballad' is so unusual for G.e. as this very 'cringe-worthy ' classic mulls along almost like White Snake or some really really LAME Deep Purple or Zep cover band (which is what G.e. really 'was' in their beginning stages),...Fortunately, this is probobly the last song of its kind by G.e. as Phil Keegan plays some beautiful Glam metal to Rush like choral wrythm guitar to go with the anstfully bad lyrics and singing from Clark Hagins....but, ofcourse, ..what is 'always' so weird about G.e. is how they turn a dud into lemon-ade for; AT GOOGLEVIDEO.COM 'THIS' IS ONE OF GE'S MOST DOWNLOADED AND SOUGHT AFTER SONGS - FOR WHAT-EVER REASON,...likely it is because of the cheesey Zeppelin White Snake gay 'metalness' of this slow track,...and as we all know; there is alot of rednecks out there that like and consume pure shit....hence the success of Greenhouse Effect's very early "Actor" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ==================== -------------------------------- IN early 1989, Greenhouse Effect began working on their second recording project and the sound that they would achieve with "The four song E.P." would be far different from February 1988's GLOBAL WARMING CD. and tracks like "Precarious", Racers, and the Magic Man.... Guitarist Phil Keegan would come up with four very interesting new song foundations but the drumming patterns of Clark Hagins would also aid heavily in the new direction of G.e. "3/4" - a song played in 3/4 time signature with sad pathetic lyrics about losing a love meshed along well with Keegan's gloomey grungey guitars and overdubs....Six feet under - which is a bluesy cut...now is one of ge's all time favorites ,..as Keegan handles virtually all of the production on the track - ,...the very marvelous song "Snake' is a fine cut - what with it's lyrics about a guy being 'set up' on fake rape accusations,..but the obvious most wonderous cut has to be 1989's 'A CURRENT AFFAIR' a song played in Hagins' bizarre 5/16 drum signature time and made into a classic by the muddy heavy wah wah guitar of Phil Keegan,..."Don't kill one,..You must kill many" exclaims Haggins in this very political apparent 'pro death penalty" song which today in 2009, Hagins says is among Ge's greatest tracks ever - AND IT IS !! ======================== GREENHOUSE EFFECT HAVE landed recently in the top categorys of 'Grunge rock' and 'Emo' with the aid of the help of tracks like 1992's MANIPULATION and the crucial 'AGENDA' CD Produced by Bill Krodel and Mark Nathanson and released In June 92' by Massachusetts Indie Label 'Rock City Productions' and executive Producer jeffery Snowe. This bizarrely interesting tracks rocks out as if the FOO FIGHTERS - BUT THIS THING was recorded in the summer of 1991 - even before knowledge of the coming NIRVANA !! WITH EACH record, G.e. would constantly 'evolve' their guitar driven garage sound and by the time they got to the summer of 1991 and May 91's beating of Rodney G. King, G.e. had come up with even more great material - enough even to top the opera "Going Legit" !! ' A WHITE BLACK THANG' would be a track long ago written by Hagins as early as 1990 and laughed at as 'silly' by G.e's first guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil). Hagins would hold onto the demo idea ...and again present it to Rick Carmody during the 'Going Legit' sessions in December 1990 through February 91'.....Carmody, too, thought that the song with the broad chorus and light then heavy guitar parts was too 'commercial and cheesey' sounding so Hagins then took his 'advanced' ideas of now high tech 'grunge rock' to the major labels - once more..., playing a demo version of 'White black' to several "A & R" guys in Hollywood - who said the song sounded like a poor man's Pixies or Stooges rip off....Undaunted, hagins would record four songs alone - minus Carmody with Producer Bill Krodel beginning in August of 1991,...drummer Greg Tarpley may have shown at the recording sessions which produced 'Subdue', 'white black', 'manipulation, and BEATLES COVER 'PLEASE PLEASE ME' ,....but he did not perform on any track as Hagins handled the drumming' "Manipulation" would be a bizarre 'punk rock but pop' like uptempo track that was so strange along with 'White Black' that Hagins chose not to release these songs instead concentrating on a new idea he was working on to be recorded in March of 1992 called simply "Brandy".... Producers Bill Krodel and Nathanson both thought that 'White Black' was one of the weirdest things they had ever heard but that it was 'too controversial' a subject matter to release - another reason why Hagins kept these songs under wraps til May of 1992 and the sudden 'Agenda' after the Los Angeles Riots.... 'After the riots, White black just seemed perfect" says higgins TMZ ============================= The classic 'Going Legit' era Greenhouse Effect song "22nd Street" from March of 1991. This song moves along more like u2 or the Cure than a garage rocking bluesy G.e. song you might expect. There are heavy trappings of things like David Bowie and Echo and the Bunnymen here as Clark hagins takes over the full reighn of G.e. as by this time guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) has exited the band and traveled north to the Bay area California. The 'trippy' 'Star trek' like guitar breaks in this are of rock legend ! The 'Going Legit" album was almost entirely recorded by Clark hagins alone at Lomita California's Accessive Light and Sound Studio and it's 12 track Akai recording system as operated by Producer Andrew Houston and Hagins. Bassist Rick Carmody performs on EVERY 'Going Legit' track among them 'Star', Hey Negrita, and "America the Beautiful" and the classic "Wilson Phillips' a 'metal' like grunge song,.... Carmody and Hagins wrote the album 'Going Legit' together at '251' in Torrance,....though Higgins mostly comes up with everything,....originally, this album was a 'concept' 48 song album,...but due to money issues - only 8 Going Legit songs were ever recorded in this era of G.e. The eventual "Rock Opera White Suburban Liar$' has it's origins in the 1991 'Going Legit' concept about a homeless Vietnam or Iraq Vet from San Pedro named Maury who sits in the street and writes poetry ala sort-of like the movie "Barfly" with Michey Rourke.... "Going Legit" was to be turned into a full fledged movie and Hagins submitted a script to several movie studios as it was rejected..... "The Rock Opera White Suburban Liar$' today stands as one of alternative rock's greatest albums,...netting haggins much praise in his important punk rock home of Redondo Beach California,...the song 'BEN IS DEAD' considered one of the best punk rock songs ever written - though it does borrow heavily from Ted Nugent and the ambuoy dukes' Journey to the centre of your mind ' - TMZ ============================== Greenhouse Effect with the 1989 classic "6 Feet Under" a concept song "within a song" entirely produced and played by guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) himself ...minus the drums and bass by Hagins and Carmody respectively; "I'm no angel,..this i admit" extolls Keegan as he tears into the Entertainment industry in this four minute very political rant (typical for the edgy G.e.) "looking back at 'Six feet under' - it has become more than a G.e. cult classic - it is like our own "Boris the spider' to the Who " says Clark Hagins "the song is so brilliant with the angery terse lyrics that are so mean and political,...Dr. Phil takes no prisoners here - he hunts for the head and gets it" says Higgins ...and true enough ; today in 2008 and 2009 "Six Feet Under" is one of Ge's most known and downloaded songs at Google Video.com ,...even some weeks challenging the mighty White Black Thang and BRANDY !! "Our music was always very political and lyric oriented" says Clark hagins "we always took chances because we knew we had to be the best - there was alot on us - we had a big reputation for being great,...we had to back it up in the music studio - but then we had to back it up live all too ! We worked to be the best,...me and Keegan,..we would have 'talk sessions' down at Torrance beach as we drank beers,...we literally 'planned' on being the biggest and greatest band ever - someday,..its good to see that now it is finally happening for G.e. - we deserve it,..we 'should be' known,...and on a big scale too !!" Phil Keegan also plays some poigniant bluesy guitar on '6 feet' ala Stevie Ray Vaughn as Higgins and Carmody keep a tight wrythm section rolling along beneath his axe work..... ================================== 2009 has started out as the biggest year yet for Greenhouse Effect as their songs are achieving even bigger views and downloads today at GoogleVideo.com than they did in 2008 and ofcourse 2008 was the year where G.e. scored over One hundred Million views "Plays" of the WHITE BLACK THANG video (the 'blue shirt' version and now the 'Hermosa saloon' version as well ).... In December 2008, G.e. landed in the Top 300 bands All time at Myspace.com and briefly settled in as the tenth highest 'Grunge rock category" band ever with nearly One million Myspace profile views as generated by popular emo tracks "Brandy" and WHITE BLACK THANG... WHITE BLACK THANG has earned it's first 'Google Award' of 60 million 'confirmed' internet 'views' making Clark Hagins, Rick Carmody and Greenhouse Effect one of the most 'surfed' Alternative rock bands EVER in cyberspace.... "The charts at Myspace are kinda squirrelly" says Clark Hagins "We have thousands of friends and fans who are confused as hell by Myspace,...one day they will see us at #10 and the next day, we are at #42 ,...then there will come a day when we aren't even there ! We're not even 'in' the chart (Laughs)"YEAH IMAGINE THAT ! Like Greenhouse effect 'isn't' in their top charts - yeah rite !!(Laughs)" says Higgins "We feel that myspace needs to clean up their music charts and make them accurate,....theres a million 'tribute' sites in there - clogging their top charts,..like a zillion Nirvana tributes and Red Hots tributes,....and Soundgarden tribute pages made by common folk,...I'm just sick of all those 90's bands,...everybody that i talk to is also,...People say Nirvana is boring now ,...that shit was 20 years ago and it had it's run,...its time for something new,...its time to give a buncha bands a chance who never got their big break - but who are 'making' their own breaks now today ,...bands like Batlord and the Reverse Engineers from Florida ! 'these bands' deserve some recognition and attention now - We've all had enough of Nirvana and Pearl Jam - its time for our society to let that old shit go now,...its gotten redundant and stale,...same with Green Day - if these bands and or their handlers really did 'have' any punk rock dignity ,..then they would and will do as i think - and just let it die man,...let it go -,....people are sick of the Kurt Cobain Courtney story now its boring and its from 20 years ago anyway ; WHO FUCKING CARES ANYMORE ???? FOR CHRISSAKES !! ?? GET OVER IT - MOVE ON !! GIVE THE BAND th' losin' streaks from Sacramento their chance now !! PUT 'THEM' ON THE RADIO WITH SOME HYPE AND YOU 'WILL SEE' THAT people like them ; they will build alot of fans if they get their chance ; their equal opportunity - its time to fucking just break your coldplay cd - COLDPLAY SUCKS !! "I got mind-control over people now fucker !" laughs Higgins "People listen to me now,...they fuckin' listen to every word from the guy who listens to Levin and Savage" "WE just feel sometimes that alot of charts are 'rigged' to make certain bands look big and popular the same way that liberals rigg 'polls' to always make democrats look popular - its just our goverment media complex hosing you the sucker so that you will continue to work and shovel more of your hard earned money to the government - our government wants you to be a stupid dumb consumer who thinks and does what he is told ; they don't want independence or individualism because if people turn that way ,...then our governments state and FED TOO - THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SOAK YOU FOR MORE OF YER TAX DOLLARS - YOU IDIOT ! YOU SCHMUCK !! " "GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS ALL ABOUT being a 'loner' a someone who does their own thing,...my advice to people - especially young people is DON'T WATCH TV - DON'T WATCH MTV - DON'T WATCH ACCESS HOLLYWOOD OR THE E CHANNEL OR ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT !! DON'T EVEN WATCH TV AT ALL EVER - TURN IT OFF ; LISTEN TO G.E. !! ,...we're better for your brain,...we're more intelligent than tv !! AND DON'T WATCH PORN !! WATCH ME !! " " Our American FM RADIOS NEED TO BE FAIR NOW ! THEY NEED TO BROADCAST SONGS BY AIRBOURNE AND DRAGONFORCE AND THE DARKNESS (JUstin Hawkins),...our radios here in the states constantly play the same old shit ; Green day and Foo Fighters ,...and a hell of alot of people ARE NOT LISTENING TO RADIO ANYMORE - THEY ARE TURNING RADIOS OFF NOW ! AND THE RATINGS ARE LOW ; we need 'new bands' played more and NO - NOT THE SAME OLD EMO AND alternative style - WE NEED SOMETHING NEW - MY BAND GETS MORE PLAY ON THE INTERNET THAN ANY BAND !! IF WE WERE ALLOWED TO BE ON FM RADIOS IN AMERICA - WE WOULD FUCKING TAKE OVER !! ,..or at the very least, we would be very successful AND I WOULD FINALLY GET MY CHANCE TO MAKE SOME ACTUAL MONEY AT THIS ! - BUT NOBODY WILL GIVE ME MY CHANCE - NOBODY WILL HELP ME - SO I HAVE TO DO ALL THIS SHIT ALONE - DEVOTING MY TIME AND 'MY LIFE' -,...AND IT AIN'T JUST ME or bands like Greenhouse effect - bands like Airbourne have to tour themselves to death - to try to make money BECAUSE NO RADIO WILL PLAY THEM !! THE RADIOS ARE OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY LIBERALS AND PHONEY CONSERVATIVES TOO LIKE CLEAR CHANNEL -AND THEY REFUSE TO BE FAIR !! PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PUT THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE BACK IN POWER TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP LISTENING TO MICHAEL SAVAGE AND OTHER republican talk radio people - or conservative or whuddever,...well let me tell you this ; WE 'DO' NEED LIKE A FAIRNESS DOCTRINE TO GET AIRBOURNE AND DRAGONFORCE SOME FAIR AIRTIME ON RADIOS IN AMERICA ; OUR RADIOS HERE REFUSE TO PLAY 80'S METAL !! AND 'THAT' IS WRONG !! The liberals want to control 'everything now' they run cbs, nbc, abc, even fox now !! AND THEY WANT MORE !!! 60'S LIBERALS WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS - THEY PLAYED THE WHO ON THE RADIO BACK THEN !! THEY GAVE ROCK A CHANCE !! " " AIRBOURNE AND DRAGONFORCE AREN'T MAKING ANY MONEY BECAUSE OUR AMERICAN FM RADIOS WILL NOT PLAY THEIR MUSIC UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (WHICH WOULD PAY THESE BANDS ROYALTIES !) AND THIS IS UNJUST AND WRONG !! AIRBOURNE AND DRAGONFORCE ARE TWO OF THE BIGGEST BANDS IN THE WORLD !! AIRBOURNE JUST PLAYED THE WACKEN FEST IN GERMANY ; DAMN IT - PUT AIRBOURNE ON THE RADIO NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " " ALL I have ever said is give equal time to all bands ; Stop the fm radio dial unfair practice of only playing corporate rock bands with Major Label deals - there are thousands of other bands too - who deserve to be heard - they deserve their chance ! Take it from me !! I'm the fuckin' guy in the Greenhouse Effect for fuck-sake !! I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE PEOPLE - I'M THE FUCKIN' DUDE WITH A HUNDRED MILLION SONG PLAYS WHO THE RADIO WON'T TOUCH FOR CHRISSAKES !! " " If yer not gonna listen to me then WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ??? " AND TRUE TO HIS WORD, Clark Hagins says that if he ever finds a way to be financially fit enough, he will start a special place on the net to help ALL BANDS regardless of politics or belief - to 'get their music heard on a mass scale" "I know what its like to be ignored and disrespected" says Higgins " "I know what its like to have alot of talent and alot of knowledge and still have a piece of shit Magazine like Bam Magazine trying to intentionally hurt you - I know whats its like to have family members and so called 'friends' not listen to you or regard you no matter what you say,....I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO NOT GET ANY SUPPORT EVEN THOUGH YER FUCKING GREAT - I'M NOT GONNA LET THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER BANDS AND SOLO MUSICIANS IN THE FUTURE - 'I'M' GONNA LISTEN TO THEIR TAPES AND CD'S AND 'I' WILL BE THE ONE TO HELP THEM " ======================== G.e's former Manager Stephen Hovernton works closely once again with the band in 2009, using tools like the Zeus Robot to promote G.e. and klause41 clickbank i.d. links to millions; "Its a labor of love" says Hooverton "I was part of one of rock n roll's greatest bands ,...Hagins is right,..everyone said he was full of crap - well this is all not bad ,..for a guy who was full of shit " (Laughs) " Today with songs like 'Brandy', Coke snortin' love boyz, the magic man, white black song, little man, and People (that won't back down), G.e. are one of the most downloaded bands in the world ! ------------------------------------------------show less...
