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 "
