Be Prepared: Nosferatu D2 | We're Gonna Walk Around This City With Our Headphones On To Block Out The Noise | 16. Oct

The best six pounds sterling you will spend this year will get you Audio Antihero's remastered reissue of the mighty (and depressingly defunct) Nosferatu D2's only long-player, We're Gonna Walk Around This City With Our Headphones On To Block Out The Noise. This re-release of the Croydon, England based duo's set is something of a relief to us here at Clicky Clicky HQ. That's because we've been told by a fellow with Audio Antihero that the label was launched in part just to make this reissue available, which means that there is at least one dude out there who is as obsessed with Mr. Parker and his songwriting as we are (and perhaps even more so, as quite literally Audio Antihero is putting its money where its mouth is).

Anyway, you can pre-order the thing via PayPal right now, here's the link, scroll down, spend the money now and thank us later. This is the record that has the amazing tracks "A Footnote," "Broken Tamagotchi" and "It's Christmas Time (For God's Sake)" on it, among others. Audio Antihero is offering "Springsteen" as a promo track, which we are posting below for those of you who didn't download the record from Last.FM back when the old version (which we think was self-titled at the time) was available for free download. But anyway, Parker, holy Jesus, this guy can write songs ("A Footnote" is the band's crowning achievement), and particularly lyrics, and with his brother Adam slaying the drum kit behind him the Nosferatu D2 was simply unbeatable. Here's the full running order:

1. Broken Tamagotchi
2. A Footnote
3. Colonel Parker
4. Flying Things and Pests
5. I Killed Burt Bacharach
6. 2 People, 0 Superpowers
7. Mojo Top 100
8. Springsteen
9. We'll Play The Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood A Thousand Times Tonight
10. It's Christmas Time (For God's Sake)
