Greenhouse Effect music is exciting, unusual, melodic, and weird. Their sound is "unconventional" as if they wrote the book on it ! Songs like the instrumental "Theme" from the 1994 Fountain cd are gripping, chilling reminders of the greatness of G.e. "Yeah,..when we put out 'Fountain' ,..those were amazing times,..i had to fake people out after all that Bam Magazine shit,...i feel still today that Bam Magazine was intentionally trying to hurt me,..all because i was just another musician who they 'didn't agree' with my world view,...Bam Magazine didn't even bother to play my demo tapes or cd's,..for this ,..they are mortal sworn enemies of mine - forever,...I won't rest until EVERY ONE OF THEM SUFFERS,..THEY'RE GONNA PAY" says a veangeful Clark Hagins "I feel what Bam Magazine did to me was the very type of witch-hunt that all conservatives or closet Christians face in California,...but I am not like yer everyday average Christian dude,..I'm a nasty little MOTHERFUCKER...." says Higgins "EVERYBODY LIKES G.E. NOW,..people don't dare try to say i suck now,...not that the whole world can plainly hear 'Brandy" and 'THEME',...AND 'A CURRENT AFFAIR' zillions a' times a day - people walk on fucking eggshells around me now if ya know what i mean fucker!,...i just always knew that i needed a platform,..an avenue,...a vehicle...and great open-minded people like Blip tv and Vimeo,..at long last,..these sites gve Greenhouse Effect ,..my chance finally,...back in the south bay, i would beg friends of mine to listen to my music and they just laughed at it,....they would say mean terrible things like "Clark doesn't know how to play guitar and he can't write songs,...plus he's not that good of a drummer anyway,..and shit like that,....they wouldn't go to my gigs no matter how many flyers i put up....and when i came around, they would just laugh and treat me like i was less of a human than all of them,...well,..when you treat Clark Hagins like shit,..thats one thing,..but when you try to drag G.e. into that fucking shit,...thats a whole 'nother game,...they're crossing a dangerous line there boy,....don't be immature and try to say that my music sucks,..just because you think that 'i' suck,...thats fucking foolish" "My life was rough,..i was this real little skinny blondie dude,..and i was the last of 8 children but my family should have plainly seen how good i was ,...just from the fucking pictures i could draw!.....they had no respect for G.e. !! - AND THEY STILL DON'T,....THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE LYRICS TO ONE OF MY SONGS EXCEPT 'WHITE BLACK' AND 'BRANDY' CAUSE THOSE TWO ARE ALL over the net,...thats pathetic !!Haggins says that he uses the "Tubemogul video service" and things like the Zues linking robot to promote his music instantly to millions around the world at just a few clicks of the mouse...."Our daily downloads at Googlevideo.com are really big" says Higgins "but i've discovered that i need to write alot of shit,..or "Blog",..its become like a very fun hobby,...right after i drink a big cup of coffee, i may get angry ,..thinking about the past,..and how i gave up on my music in 1992,..sometimes i get joyous but often i get into a foul mood,...not very 'forgiving' at all,..i'm 43 years old and i'm a married man here,..and i'm sick of being treated like fucking shit ! I actually get kinda pissed now,..that i can walk around sometimes,..and get the respect of a fellow shopper at target or Walmart,..all because i'm old now,..why the fuck couldn't people have just been cool to me in the first place,??..way back when ?? Why the fuck do people gotta be fucked to people at all !! Our world today would be much more constructive and productive if people would just knock off the childish shit,..if somebodys better than you,..and yer afraid that they're gonna pass you by,..so then you treat them like shit,..you end up ONLY HURTING YOURSELF !! I KNEW SHIT LIKE THAT,..thats why i have always strived to help others...other bands n shit.. - AND NO ONE FUCKING LIFTS A FINGER TO HELP ME !! ...or people like me,..out there in the world - there is a shit load of alot of wasted talent out there,..and we got all these fuckers sittin' around drinkin' beers and watchin' football an' shit,...MAN, FUCK THAT SHIT; QUIT WATCHING OTHERS,..AND LEARN TO GO BE CREATIVE YOURSELF !!....instead of wasting your time,..putting down people who really 'are' good !!NO ONE LIFTS A FINGER TO HELP ME ! What fucking good would it do ..even 'if' i was 23 years old now instead of 43,..no ones gonna care anyway !! I recorded ALL THE FUCKING INSTRUMENTS ON NOT ONE BUT TWO WHOLE CD'S OF MUSIC,..and its the best fucking shit that there is - and yet; NO ONE CARES,....- ITS JUST LIKE THAT MOVIE 'A BRONX TALE; - NO ONE CARES !!...some have asked me why i don't bother to throw my heart into recording new shit now,..because i 'know' its gonna be the same old shit anyway,..no ones gonna support it,..only strangers who i don't know will buy it,...nahh,..i'm gonna get 'my immediate people around me' to fucking 'admit' i'm good,..before i'm fucking done !! and when they say 'we were wrong' i'm gonna say 'what...what- i can't fucking hear you,...whuddya mean you were wrong ???" 'My shit is special music,..no we're not just another run of the fucking mill,..so don't give me that shit either!!"" I shouldn't be a fucking pool cleaner,..i 'know' that,...I SHOULDN'T BE A FUCKING POOL CLEANER"So what does "Mr. South Bay" feel about the theory that "he is only 'this good' because of the way people treated him? "I think thats a fucking piece of shit!" says Higgins "being mean to people doesn't necessarily make them stronger or 'better' like this is the frickin' US MARINES or somethin' like that,..probobly if people had been cooler and more respectful and supportive,...i would never even have been a musician 'or' a pool guy or lawn mower or any of that shit !,...i'd be like some frickin' attorney make a zillion dollars a year or a CEO or some shit like that!!"yeah,..looking back at it all,..it is quite a paradox indeed,..people try to say 'i was meant' to be this,....well, maybe,...but i would recommend to people to try to teach their children well and treat them with dignity,...and who knows,..they just may turn out to be something 'better' than a musician,..I just think about great people like Bill Krodel who were the rare few who were supportive of me,...maybe someone like Scott Combs,...but thats about it !!...its just broken me to pieces to think that Billy died....."i rock for all the 'little' people out there" says Higgins "they have no voice"

When it comes to Super Internet Guru HEROS of mass marketing, nobody - I MEAN NOBODY CAN ROCK THE WORLD like the Greenhouse Effect...great terrific stripped down 'videos' on Google search engines that have blasted G.e. to the top of the world for well over a year now!! Says Clark Hagins; "It all started in like October,.maybe September 2007,..we built up a slow buzz on google - and then it just EXPLODED...WHITE BLACK THANG became a monster,..i mean you look at our band and we are hillarious looking and acting,..we are so silly and nerdy,..there is nothing controversial about us YET WE ARE COMPLETELY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL THING THAT EVER EXISTED,...with 'White Black' n all,...i mean, we don't take ourselves all that serious but we have to - at the same time,..i mean ; we practically invented 'Nerdcore" (Laughs)....Greenhouse Effect take great pride in being one of the Internet's hugest things and they have featured an ever changing band line up but with two exceptions; Bassist Rick Carmody and Lead Guitarist Clark Hagins are both 'always in the band' and for the band's entire duration from 1985 til 1992 ! "We were way WAY TOO AHEAD OF OUR TIME" says Hagins "you go to the south bay and people will tell you how i drew pictures as a child of the future ten years from my little picture,..i don't mean to brag,..but i am a genius,..i was born with only half a brain working so my one side of my mind had to store alot of shit,...i had Belles Palsy as a child and half my body didn't work,...i had to pull myself around using all the power of the right side of my brain - thats probobly why i am like this total Republican and i fucking hate liberals (Laughs),....plus,..up until i was like 6,..i mainly only spoke Spanish as my parents were really busy and they left me alot with this family of Hispanics in Lomita who spoke no English (Laughs)....i'm like the best Mexican white dude to pick up rock n roll since Ritchie Valens !!(Laughs)...i mean i am just like a short little Woody allen/ Robin williams dude who is lovable and sweet and that really comes across in all our videos,..i mean Ted just brings us all down - that guy is always a negative vibe (laughs) just kidding !! OUR BAND featured some of the greatest musicians in Los Angeles..we had people come and go and that was unfortunate because i love it when line ups stay together and intact..like the Who pretty much did for a long time,....we had drummer Martin Silva who is one of the best drummers that i have ever heard and we had Guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil). Keegan is one of the great guitarist there is ever. PERIOD. I MEAN IN THE WORLD !! EVER !!
