Last month, we heard the new Roots track featuring Monsters of Folk, “Dear God 2.0,” and posted what was believed to be the full tracklist to their LP, How I Got Over, but what about the confirmed Joanna Newsom-guesting track and rumored Dirty Projectors collaboration? As it turns out, there are a few more cuts on the album than previously reported and three members of the latter band do, in fact, perform on one of them.

According to ?uestlove’s site OkayPlayer, album opener “A Peace Of Light” features Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian, and Haley Dekle of the Dirty Projectors. Need more proof? You can listen to 1:30 samples of every track off How I Got Over below, including their sample of Joanna Newsom’s “The Book of Right-On” (on the song “Right On,” duh). **Update: Full tracks are now on their MySpace. Enjoy:

The Roots dropped an album cover, release date, and tracklist for their forthcoming record, How I Got Over, just two days ago, but one of the LP’s indie-guesting tracks has already hit the Web. Dubbed “Dear God 2.0,” Roots MC Black Thought rhymes over a moderately reworked version of Monsters of Folk’s “Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.),” which features My Morning Jacket’s Jim James singing choruses about the mysteries of spiritual faith.

Though there’s no question that James — who originally penned the instant classic melody for his side project with Conor Oberst and M. Ward — and the Roots are a perfect, soulful match here, I was hoping for a more drastically different take on the tune. Either way, the Joanna Newsom-featuring track, “Right On,” and rumored Dirty Projectors cameos should throw a few welcome curveballs our way shortly.

Check out “Dear God 2.0” below, as well as the full HIGO tracklist:

Perhaps it’s been said before, but somebody needs to nominate the Roots’ ?uestlove for a “Best Musician on Twitter” prize. If only for his revealing Twitlonger post on the business of TV show walk-on song music publishing and epic live-tweet from inside Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace gig. So what’s the latest 140-character scoop from our favorite late-night drummer?

“[Y]es indeed we are working hard on #HOWIGOTOVER (first look) mixing the Joanna Newsome Jawn,” Questo cryptically posted yesterday. Twelve hours later he dropped a teaser video from the studio where Newsom’s “The Book of Right-On” is apparently being sampled. This all sounded very exciting, of course, but what’s he building in there? Entertainment Weekly (via Pitchfork) has the scoop: Joanna Newsom and My Morning Jacket singer Jim James will provide guest performances for different songs on the forthcoming Roots album, How I Got Over, due out this summer.

Something tells me that the Dirty Projectors might make an appearance on this record too.

Before the dust settles on this weekend’s revelation that Grizzly Bear have written music for upcoming Ryan Gosling/Michelle Williams flick Blue Valentine, let’s take a look at a few other artists premiering film score compositions at next year’s Sundance Film Festival in Salt Lake City, UT:

As we previously reported, many famous rock musicians and a songwriter for Sesame Street were outraged late last year when news broke that their music had been used to torture inmates at Guantanamo Bay. Whereas Drowning Pool’s Steve Benton said it was “an honor to think that perhaps [their] song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that,” Trent Reznor, Rage Against The Machine, and many more were understandably furious.

Now Reznor and Rage’s Tom Morello have joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo, along with R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Roots, Rosanne Cash, Rise Against, Billy Bragg, and Jackson Browne, Huffington Post reports.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is only 2 weeks away from it’s first airing (March 2nd), and a lot of people are curious about what the Roots have planned for their surprise stint as a Late Night house band; a role not usually played by groups known for their original music. In a Q&A with Rollingstone, Roots drummer ?uestlove calmed any fears their fans may have of them becoming a cover band.

Apparently, NBC claims they can’t afford to pay for any published music for the Roots. “We have to write 200 new songs, which will probably last about a year,” ?uestlove said. “We’ve written about 55 so far.”

The original songs don’t have to be long, thankfully, as they only need to provide segues for Fallon’s show. ?uestlove doesn’t call them “segues” though: “Some people call them beds or bumpers,” he said. “I call them sandwiches. If the song sounds like the Meters, then we call it a po boy sandwich. If it’s pop, i call it the Subway sandwich. Disco or Philly soul, we call it a cheese steak. When we’re referencing some UK rock sh*t, that’s the Marmite sandwich. If it has a didgeridoo, then it’s a Vegemite sandwich.”
