It's that time of year again. The time when everyone's fear of schoolwork is actually usurped by desire to be as far away from any parental unit's overbearing clutches as physically possible. And thus we find ourselves, or at least most of ourselves, to be happily returned to Hanover, albeit knees-deep in books (and other things, I suppose), but with mental states quickly stabilizing from the evening effect of living away from home (and other things, I suppose).

Perhaps the most ridiculous financial extravagance of my young adult life was spending $80 on a Facets Video three-DVD set of 10 hours of Polish film that I had never even seen before. But damn, it was worth it.

I have had the strange pleasure and opportunity to interview core members of the Friday Night Rock scene -- twice. Both times have been what one might call unique experiences. On both occasions I have found myself at a table in Thayer with a motley crew of musicians from campus bands Oh No Dinosaur and Fashion Fashion! as well as a "groupie" or two who peppered the conversation with extra opinions.

Take a listen to Wilco's first album, "A.M.," and then compare it with their third, "Summerteeth." The differences between the two are very obvious. "A.M." is far closer to Wilco's roots with Uncle Tupelo, and "Summerteeth" is far more of a sunny pop-rock album than anything else they've done. There's nothing nearly as close to country as "Casino Queen" on "Summerteeth," and there's nothing that nearly as unabashedly fun as "Candy Floss" on "A.M." Yet it is all undeniably Wilco in spirit.

If the mentioning of the band Elbow brings a grimace to your face in addled remembrance of their debut album, "Asleep In The Back," it is time to wipe that memory slate clear. Critics, for the most part, seemed to appreciate the first effort of the anatomically-named Manchester band. But many in the general public had little fondness for Elbow's brooding dreariness, which drew it comparisons, and rightly so, to fellow English rock band, The Doves.

A typical visual survey of the basement of Collis does not incite enthusiastic praise from most Dartmouth students. There's a girl using the ATM machine and here's an '07 lazily gazing up at "Everybody Loves Raymond." Lone Pine is anything but raucous and 8-Ball Hall, while almost continually full, isn't exactly pumping full of energy either. And most of the time, the lights are down in Fuel. Yippee.

After the first listen, the whole thing seems a puzzle. How could this bizarre, offsetting hip-hop album, Dizzee Rascal's "Boy In Da Corner," have become such a phenomenon? How could it have sold 200,000 copies in England, blasted its 19 year-old MC to stardom, and won the Mercury Prize? How come everybody is going nuts about this album? Is this even hip-hop? And what the heck is he saying?

Ever think that politicians just have no clue what the youth of America want? Well, your premonition is pretty accurate.

American culture is, undeniably, attuned to perceiving certain things as "natural" pairings. For instance, what American doesn't think that peanut butter and jelly naturally go together?

Forget that Radiohead producer Nigel Goodrich almost produced it, because he didn't. Stop the comments about contrived scruffiness, skinny ties and posh New York upbringings, because those things never changed the music. And don't even think about making a "this is it" pun -- leave that to Ryan Adams and journalists of the New York Post school. Take this for what it is.

The mix of film personalities in the new film "Veronica Guerin" is indeed a perplexing one. Cate Blanchett is essentially the only star with box-office pull in the whole film. Though Blanchett is always at her best in juicy intellectual roles offered by small productions, as witnessed by her performances in such films "Elizabeth," "An Ideal Husband," and "Heaven," she is paired in "Veronica Guerin" with the director-producer team of Joel Schumacher and Jerry Bruckheimer, the kings of the hyper-glossy Hollywood formula film.

Early on in "Intolerable Cruelty," the new screwball comedy by the infamous duo of Joel and Ethan Coen, the audience witnesses George Clooney's character admiring himself, on the sly, in the back of a spoon.

Even from an initial glance at the case, something seems entirely different about Elvis Costello's new album "North." The cover art resembles something more like Dave Matthews Band's "Everyday" than the usual Costello eclecticism; the pop art of "Get Happy," the cubism of "Imperial Bedroom" or the splatter art of "Armed Forces." But whatever, it's just a cover. And looking inside, from the back of lyrics sleeve, that kooky infamous half-grin that is Costello is staring out at the potential listener. This is a good sign, right?
