...instinctive response to this outbreak of British euphoria is condescension. (It's fun to switch cultural roles once in a while, no?) Americans who don't love music can sniff at the band's impossible youth--two of the Arctic Monkeys are 19, two are 20--and refrigerator-poetry name. Music lovers need only glance at dusty albums by Oasis, Super Furry Animals, the Prodigy and Bloc Party to remind themselves that the Brits routinely mistake mediocrity for greatness.

Dressed in spacesuit-style protective gear, team members hunted out every bird in the village, slaughtered them all and buried the carcasses in a huge pit. That scene has been repeated countless times throughout Southeast Asia, where bird flu has become entrenched, but in Chart Charoen there was a critical difference.
