...Modern Age EP, while live favorites “Meet Me in the Bathroom” and “You Talk Way Too Much” provide more produced, laid-back fare. First single “12:51” is a rousing bit of Friday night nostalgia, Wavy Gravy chords slinking as lead singer Julian Casablancas relates, “We’d go out and get 40s, then we’d go to some party.” Yet, despite its infectious central hook, the single hasn’t caught on with audiences...
...Marxist revolutionary Colin Meloy is still penning dime-novel tales about dissolute seamen, WWI doughboys, a blindfolded “Jewess” and a rascally “chimbley sweep.” The songs verge on Gothic, but only in a literary sense—driven by nostalgia, they sound as if the Decemberists have never heard anything recorded after 1975, let alone a Cure record...

And for all those now-grownup kids who still beg them to re-form and do the dead-parrot sketch one more time, The Pythons Autobiography (Orion Books; 360 pages), serves up a hefty slab of nostalgia. Time is tougher on jokes than on melodies, but it's hard now to explain precisely why Monty Python's Flying Circus, which launched on Oct. 5, 1969 with a skit about sheep nesting in trees, should have so captivated viewers. There are precious few clues in the book, which...
