The signal-to-noise ratio of the British music press is so askew that everyone from Oasis to Muse is knighted as the next Beatles. Pity teenage daft punks like Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys, poster band for the hairy U.K. hype machine, now jaded 23-year-olds who have phony members accept their awards and release sneaky-good albums with names like Humbug (Domino). The Like opens. Tickets $23.50.
