The tracklisting for Rome, the collaboration between Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi with vocal contributions from Jack White and Norah Jones, has been revealed along with online samples of selected tracks. The album, five years in the making, pays homage to the darkly evocative scores of film composers like Ennio Morricone and Piero Umiliani.

Underworld stormed London's O2 Academy Brixton last week and The Alternate Side caught what might be one of the duo's last "Underworld only" gigs, aside from festivals, for the next couple of years.

Along with Pavement and Dinosaur Jr., Buffalo Tom were among the bands that defined one of the most significant, non-grunge, American alternative sounds of the Nineties, crafting a raucous thrash with wiry tenderness. The trio took a nine-year hiatus at the end of that decade, reforming in 2007 for Three Easy Pieces. Their next album, Skins, drops next February on their own label, Scrawny Records, and The Alternate Side had a chance to catch up with frontman Bill Janovitz to talk about this invigorating new chapter in the band's long life.
