While you may find yourself totally confused about life, feeling overwhelmed by your duties, sick of your daily routine, or overwhelmingly lost around choices you have to make, this day could also be plenty of fun as you play hooky from your responsibilities, make amazing art, and get lost in romance.

Johnny Jewel: Digital Rain (Italians Do It Better) Mastermind of several hooky, surreal metapop bands on his own Italians Do It Better label, Johnny Jewel's solo music has tended toward atmospheric electronica: the same ominous background ambience behind bands like Chromatics and Glass Candy, minus the lead vocalist providing focus and coherence.

So the day in which they try to acquire tickets (and weed and molly) for a music festival doubles as a day to play hooky from their jobs, try to work out their relationship issues, engage in some questionable behavior, and say farewell for now to their life together in New York.

The song is low-key and more emotionally raw than a lot of Haim's past offerings (it's kind of the spiritual daughter of "My Song 5" from Days Are Gone), and for many, it didn't click immediately the way that Haim songs always have in the past, with their hooky choruses and sunny riffs.

The sun is still high in the afternoon sky, the place flirts with fullness even as it empties and refills around the edges—people in work clothes come and go on hooky sessions stretched to the absolute limits of respectability; others, in traditional young man's day-drinking attire, are clearly there for the duration.

That's not to say that the sneering, outspoken Hooky fans have come to know is no more: That fellow very much remains, there in the voluptuous Mancunian drawl of his "ponk" rock recollections, and in the mischievous grin and twinkling eyes that punctuate the astute, if often unfiltered, thoughts he gleefully doles out in both conversation and his writing.

"I told my parents I was going hiking with a friend in the mountains of Japan for three days," said Ms. Ryles, who played hooky from school one morning to get a visa for her excursion, and paid for round-trip airline tickets with money she had earned as a babysitter and as a school-bus monitor.

Each uniform has two chips in the shoulders which are used to track when and where the students enter or exit the school, with an added dose of facial recognition software at the entrances to make sure that the right student is wearing the right outfit (so you can't just have your friend, say, wear an extra shirt while you go off and play hooky).

Among those who grew up taking yellow cabs across the Upper East Side to high school and playing hooky on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, there was a sense of having lost a girlhood friend: the woman who created the glossy handbags that became a talisman of almost-adulthood and the sine qua non of belonging to the city's inner circle.

And near the climax of the film, when Ally has fully embraced her Tango-haired popstar self, there are delightful shades of Gaga's early career: hearing her do glossy pop on tracks like "Heal Me" – and especially "Hair Body Face" with its big launch into the chorus and hooky "I got my hair, body, face" line – feels like a fun throwback, and a reminder, like last year's "The Cure" was, that this is the sort of shit Gaga still revels in.

Maybe he explicitly viewed the studio as an environment where craft per se was everything, maybe he was just such a control freak that he felt more comfortable on his own; either way, the musical results less closely resembled self-conscious auteurship than self-conscious pop professionalism, the work of an artist ready and indeed eager to reclaim a penchant for the hooky jingle and the exhilarating rhythm, an artist returning to, heightening, tweaking, and transforming entirely his established commercial sound all at once.

Take, for example, the noise-riddled "IV," which possesses such a creepy, funhouse mirror vibe that (if it wasn't the album's fourth track) would seem to have been titled after an intravenous drip of some questionable pharmaceutical or five rather than a Roman numeral, the amorphous two-part suite "Gold Candier," or the off-kilter, dysrhythmic balladry of "Ginger V." While there are plenty of hooky riffs, thunderous drumming, and 90s-styled familiarities throughout Dane On (such as the Jesus Lizard-invoking, bottom-heavy ooze of "Tampered With"), many of the album's best moments are arguably its oddest.
