The Roots go into Overdrive: 

OriginalPost by All the Way Live

@Questlove was feeling the holiday spirit this weekend as he shared some presents to the world by offering up some “Sandwiches” from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (LNJF.)  These are those awesome little jams you hear The Roots crew play as the show heads into and out from commercial breaks.  Apparently they have now reached a milestone by writing 1,000 of these songs, all within the past 9 months.  Its crazy to think that they can write these jams in no time and makes you really anticipate what they are saving for their upcoming release, How I Got Over, which is slated to be released in February.  Here’s 22 sandwiches, straight from the afro himself...

1. Once In A Lifetime
2. Sizuuuuuuuurpin
3. Head Slicer
4. Spain (ft. Chick Corea)
5. The Juice of Chicago
6. Baatin
7. Woman
8. Choir Fire
9. Teen Town
10. Cant Keep Headphones on Head
11. Red Toe Nail Bashing
12. Blinded By The Light (No Douche Here)
13. Caveman for Dennis Quaid
14. Wan Cook Soup
15. Someone Is Late To Dentist Appointment

Maxwell and Nas collaborate on a remix to Help Somebody as a part of the RED campaign. Okay Player wrote this (man, I'm getting lazy)
God's Son decided to hop on Maxwell's track, "Help Somebody," for this remix in support of (RED)WIRE's fight against AIDS. A select group of artists, including Maxwell, Nas, Kanye West, and Santigold will have music available for purchase via iTunes that will contribute to this cause. Details are fairly sketchy at the moment, but you can join (RED)'s mailing list to get more information as it arrives.
