Its dirge-like feel and length are reminiscent of Pavement’s 1992 epic “Fillmore Jive,” but it has none of that song’s musical variety or piercing lyrical attack.

A report issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in August cited hundreds of attacks on rangers during a five-month period in 2009, resulting in 14 serious injuries. Illegal loggers and animal poachers have tried to run over officials with their vehicles, according to the report, and attack rangers with syringes. Lax management and local authorities colluding with loggers were partly to blame for the illegal logging...
