HASTE have officially called it quits:
"This has been one of the most amazing
experiences of our lives but we have all come to the point where it is

everyone by name who has been important to us as a band, but you know who
you are. I promise that we very much appreciate everything that you have
done for us. Haste has been a huge part of all of our lives and we are
all very sad to see it go, but it is time have some closure to this part
of our lives.[see full story for more]- Click

Reel Music |
PR reports: GLAMOUR Vice President and Publisher
Bill Wackermann announced Glamour Reel Music as an extension of its successful
short film series, Glamour Reel Moments. The project aimed at promoting
women in male-dominated entertainment fields will now turn to the recording
industry. Glamour has teamed with multi-platinum LaFace recording artist
P!NK to help create opportunities for women in the music business. She
selected three artists on the rise for the Glamour Reel Music contest through
which readers chose an all-female group to star in a music video directed
by P!NK. Nissan North America (NNA) supported the making of the video that
will launch on glamour.com/reelmusic on Wednesday, January 17, 2007.
Similarly to Glamour Reel Moments, which
promotes women in Hollywood, Reel Music supports emerging female artists
within the music industry. Two-time Grammy winner P!NK originally selected
Sandi Thom, The Ditty Bops and the Pretty Boys to be part of the contest.
Readers were asked in the September 2006 issue of Glamour to log on to
its website to see, hear and learn more about the three budding female
artists, and ultimately choose one they most wanted to see featured in
a music video directed by P!NK. [see full story for more]-
