To honor hitting the 1,000 mark for crafting these "sandwiches," Questlove, the drummer from The Roots, tweeted links today to 10 of them. The "sandwiches" are actually the songs you hear The Roots playing when Late Night With Jimmy Fallon goes to a commercial break. And website All The Way Live, which posts MP3s and videos of each Fallon performance, put the 10 tracks into a handy zip file.
These are mostly instrumental jams with some vocals here and there. One exception is "Woman," which has Black Thought doing the spoken word poem originally done by Mike Myers's character in So I Married An Axe Murderer. Pure unadulterated dopeness.
Also, since becaming the official house band for Jimmy Fallon’s show, The Roots have backed some amazing acts, adding their own little spices to the boiling pot. Thanks to DJ Heat, here is a collection of some of the best collaborations.
How I Got Over, the Roots' next album, is due out in February 2010.
