On offer are original dead-stock copies of the Charlie Nothing Dingulator Band’s Ain’t No Fascist 7” record, self-released in 1980. The dingulators were a weapon in Charlie’s war on conformity, at once an instrument for spiritual reflection and an armament for social sabotage. Ain’t No Fascist charts the band’s pursuit of the freest improvisation possible, in an attempt to exceed accepted notions of creative expression. “I’ve remained faithful to that ‘other’ music, non-music, or whatever it is,” Charlie once wrote, “and am still a perpetrator, still invisible and unknown.”

Charlie Nothing and Pat Bisconti strum cosmic sweeps of metallic dingulation, John Kertis’s bamboo flute shifts between cyclical trance and punk messthetix, and Jesse Ward Jr. pounds out hallucinatory non-rhythms on the hand drums. Each side is overlaid with Charlie’s eco-revolutionary lyrics. It’s a confounding blend of far out loner folk, industrial anti-music, and ecstatic free jazz.
