Boss Stuff on the Interwebs: Wednesday Links 02/02/11

• Uh, The White Stripes have split. Full story at Artrocker.

• We All Want Someone to Shout For has The National performing Conversation 16 on Letterman. And it's worth watching if only to hear Letterman say "acclaimed rock-and-roll band" like a great big square.

• guerolitomusic does the new James Blake video. But more importantly, he uses "bad ass" and "smurftastic" in the same post. Not to be missed, all round.

• Play On Daily sums up British Sea Power's Valhalla Dancehall as "Modern English fronted by Alejandro Escovedo." That's not at all what I expected, but  a bloody fantastic description, no?

• Am I the only person who does not like Iron and Wine's new tune Walking Far from Home? Anyone else out there? No? Okay, well Stereogum has a Premature Evaluation of Kiss Each Other Clean, if you're more excited than I am. And This Moving Picture has the exclusive look at the Tree By the River video (a better song by far.)

• And from the vault-- Electric Comic Book dusts off The Who's Quadrophenia to compare and contrast with American Graffiti And it's awesome.

Artist's Rendering: Australian Link.

• This week High Fidelity became my favourite only means of keeping up with Australian music. Take a gander at Boy and Bear and Megan Washington, at the very least.

• When I was 16, my badassery was fairly limited to chopping off all my hair and sneaking gin. At the same age,  Zoo Kid is putting out impressively mature, dark-wavy singles. Whatever. I also skipped class and made out with boys. (Thanks to guerolitomusic for this one.)

• Four artists I think you should listen to-- Shapers, La Femme, Tristen, and Pujol--are all in one post. Indie Surfer Blog just saved me a pile of writing. 

• ThisBonusTrack wants you to listen to The Steelwells and it's worth a visit, if only for the super-duper video.

• The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown has their list of the 11 best Daft Punk tracks. Some things never sound old.

• Electric Comic Book reports that the outgoing Florida governor has pardoned Jim Morrison. In related news, you can now tell people that you spent some time today reading about an important legal clemency case. That should shut them up.

• And rock nyc shows what happens if you don't die before you get old. Warning: it involves making painfully crappy videos. Might be the cataract.
