The publication also features the regular involvement of legendary sound artist, designer and writer Bruce Russell (Dead C and A Handful of Dust). Russell designed the cover for the new issue, which can be seen above, and will be perfoming at the launch party together with Andrew Moon (RST). We haven't seen the new issue yet but if the first two are anything to go by, don't miss out! This will be will an issue to cherish for years to come.

Celebretard Magazine Arrives in Wellington
The recent Zine Fest run successfully by Kylie Buck and the Wellington Library at Wesley Church Hall highlighted the growing strength and diversity of the city's local independent publishing scene. Among the surprises was the launch of brand-new irreverant zine / literary mag Celebretard. Co-edited by Wellington self-publishing veteran Kerry Ann Lee (editor of Help My Snowman's Burning and founder of previous zine distro Red Letter Distro) and Dane Taylor (Diamond Dane T.), the large-sized publication features outrageous collage design and interviews with local luminaries including Coco Solid, Jeremy Randerson (Foxton Fizz), Nick Austin (of Gambia Castle), The Mysterious Tape Man and Peter Mcleavey. Long-time fans of Mcleavey will be shocked and dazzled. To acquire a copy of Celebretard, visit one of the Wellington stockists Dandelion, Eyeball Kicks or Good As Gold. Alternatively you can send $12ppd and a return address from within New Zealand to: Celebretard PO Box 14562 Kilbirnie Wellington or contact celebretard@gmail.com
Timeless Pulse – Quintet
We just got sent a fabulous CD, Quintet by Timeless Pulse from New York's Mutable Music. The experimental improv group – formed in 1993 during a residency at Deep Listening Institute – recorded in 2005 five compositions of 'warm, compassionate tapestries of soft, rolling sounds performed by accordion, cymbals, drums, chimes, sampled sounds , and voice'. Very enjoyable listening.
Constellation, a new interactive light installation by Peter Trevelyan, is about to open at Dunedin's Blue Oyster Gallery and will run from August 21-September 8. Running concurrently at the gallery will be another exhibition, Elsewhere, by Brydee Rood, a self-inflating project swelling with linkages of changing ground, shrinking worlds, breeding and spreading.
