You know what they say; A few new tracks a day keeps the doctor away. Wait, they don't say that? Well, we say it, and we sure as hell believe it, too. That's why we're always showing you great new tracks from all over the music spectrum. Today we've got The Hood Internet, No Age, Cymbals Eat Guitars and more!

The Hood Internet - Wu Daydream (Raekwon vs Twin Sister)

We're going to start things off with one of the sweetest mashups we've heard in a while. Courtesy of Chicago-based The Hood Internet, this mashup brings us some of the best of two very different worlds in the forms of master chef Raekwon (and fellow Wu soldier, Method Man) and indie favorites Twin Sister. The combination is stunning, and after listening to this track about ten times, I'm really jonesing for a full album like this.

Afrojack - Take Over Control (Featuring Eva Simons)

Ready to get your booty bumping? Does your booty enjoy heart-attack-inducing house brilliance? Want to make your booty's day? Show it this new Afrojack cut featuring Eva Simmons, and that's just what you're going to do. Your booty is going to owe you, big time.

Dragonette - My Things

Next up we've got a brand new cut from Dragonette. The band of New Wav-y Synthpoppers from up North tide us over until the release of the Mixin to Thrill EP with the new track, "My Things." Great track as it stands, but we'd be amiss to say we weren't bigger fans of the song's previous title, "Get Your Titties Off My Things." for obvious reasons. Check the track out below.

No Age - Glitter

Since their debut record on Sub Pop, 2008's Nouns, LA's No Age has had no shortage of internet and magazine buzz or devoted fans. Now, two years later, we're finally coming down the final stretch in waiting for their follow-up, Everything in Between, which is set to be released in late September of this year. The first single is a boisterous little track called "Glitter," and it gets us even more excited for the album. Check it out, below.

Cymbals Eat Guitars - Ballad of Big Nothing (Elliott Smith Cover)

Last, but most certainly not least, we've got a brilliant cover of Elliott Smith's now-classic cut off of Either/Or, the fantastic "Ballad of Big Nothing" (though admittedly, we consider everything Elliott Smith has done to be "classic"), by new(ish) blog buzz favorites, Cymbals Eat Guitars. The guys give Smith's originally mostly acoustic affair a full sonic punch-in-the-arm, but the cover is otherwise faithful to the original. Definitely worth checking out.
