145,024,119 Views - BlipTV Video 2008 - The GREENHOUSE EFFECT From Los Angeles California have used the internet in an ingenious way in the 00's decade like no other rock n' roll band ! "I have one goal and one goal only" Says Clark "The Shark" Hagins in 2008; "And that is to get as many plays ( or views ) ,.. as I possibly can !" And as one of the Founders of the fledgling BlipTVCom, Hagins has seen the stock of his Band ( and Brand ) Rise online tremendously; "People have extremely short attention spans and the bottom line is not that many people are very smart at all ,..EVERYONE IS SCARED SHITLESS TO HAVE THEIR own opinion for fear of losing friends or some shit ,..well,..THAT'S WHERE I COME IN ! ( LOL ) I don't give a flying shit what people think ,, ,. ,.. and many to most seem to use drugs or some shit" ( Laughs ) Says Hagins. "People today certainly do not know too much about rock music anymore,.. there's a hell of a lot of people actually that DON'T like my music ( Laughs ) ,...well that's a sure fire way to know if someone is clueless ,.. if you don't like G.e, it's almost like the joke is on you DUMMY !!"

GREENHOUSE EFFECT Were making "alternative rock music" LONG LONG BEFORE THE 1990'S and way long before most of the bands who got famous in the 1990's; "It's a real bummer about our band and our music " Says Hagins "We literally invented so much without even knowing it !,.. We were true innovators way ahead of our time !" Hagins considers G.e much more than just music or a hobby; "G.e is my life,..it IS MY LIFE'S MEANING" SAYS HAGINS for Rock City Blogging in 2007; "The songs were all so diverse and great ,... I see a lotta bands now today are only big because some celebrity likes them or some shit like that,.. that's a load of B.s right there,.. a band has to be good because you got great songs in the studio and that's really about it,.. I don't give a shit about what they do live so much because anybody can grab some great drummer and go up on stage ,..and feed off that,..!"

NOT THAT G.E. WASN'T GREAT LIVE as Hagins exclaims in blog after blog; "We were fantastic amazing live ,..but people won't remember your live shit so much as they remember all the hit songs on the radio ,..AND WE GET PLAYED ON THE RADIO! " SAYS Hagins. 

Jango Radio and Pandora are two World-Wide internet radio's that welcome the music of G.e and with open arms; "We were recently offered a gig at Coachella in 08" Says Hagins "But I couldn't get the troops together,..We don't communicate at all now." 

Hagins says that the most talk today involving G.e. is between him and Guitarist Phil "Flipper" Keegan ( Dr. Phil ) as they discuss things like royalties, possibly comeback shows, merchandise, etc,.. but there is little communication and apparently much bad blood boiling within the Mega Internet Band today in 2007 and 2008; "We don't speak much ,..it's true ,..yeah ,..people want us to play again ,..but I guess we just don't!" Says Hagins.

*************

Funny Looking Red Headed Bassist Rick Carmody has expressed that G.e; "Will never play again ,...and it is because of Hagins" but the internet web traffic expert / guitarist / drummer / vocalist ,..marches on ,..and without his mates from G.e; "The way I see it ,..I KNOW that someday, G.e may play again ,.. and everybody tells me shit like ,..it ain't G.e without Ted,,..you gotta have the red head dude,.,..or it ain't G.e without the "Flipper three piece" years or some shit ,.. well ,..I am open-minded to just getting three all new guys and I will just sing lead in a four piece ,..which Keegan has advised me not to do."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2006, 2007, 2008, and the first part of 2009 have been very active years for GREENHOUSE EFFECT MUSIC all over the internet as "Brandy" has solidified itself assertively as one hell of a HIT SONG INDEED; "WE got a lotta' Great Songs but people have called or emailed me to claim that Brandy is our only good song which is bullshit" Says Hagins. "The WHITE BLACK SONG actually gets way way more web traffic than Brandy ever will !" says the Guitarist. 

"White Black Thang" has become a bit of a contradiction enigma for G.e "It's a red heron" Says Hagins of one of Indie Rock's Most Controversial Classics ever written; "It is a song where everyday people go 'oh fuck ,..SO THIS is that band that does that song,..wait a minute,.. THEY DO THIS SONG TOO ??? !!" ( LAUGHS ),.... 

HAGINS calls the early 1991 "White Black" one of his most beloved 'treasured" songs in a G.e. collection of over some 200 Tracks which span from dates in 1985 through the end of 1992;  "This song packs it all ! and those CLASSIC lyrics are pure social commentary ,...ala Tammy Wynette "Stand By Your Man' ( laughs ) ,..it completely means the OPPOSITE of what it appears to mean !!" ,.."It's like sayin' We're all fucked ,..if it's finally come to this !!,...this song was way ahead of it's time ,.. and it is so great mainly because of "when" it was recorded !!
