-- Rolling Stone and NME subscribers, get excited. Tennessean classic-rock yarlers Kings of Leon have another round of tour dates coming up in the U.S., UK, Europe, and Australia, include a benefit for the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital on January 24 at Chicago's House of Blues.-- "After your album flop...you gon' be on Koch." That was Houston rapper Lil Flip slamming crosstown rival Slim Thug in 2005. Well, not that Flip's career is doing any better, but his precognition is on point. Already Platinum, Slim's much-hyped 2005 major-label debut failed to go, uh, platinum (embarrassing!) and now he is indeed a part of the Koch Records ex-major-label rap empire. Slim's already dropped two albums from his Boss Hogg Outlawz crew on the New York indie, and now he's all set to release Boss of All Bosses, his long-awaited follow-up. The album is due on March 24, and the Flock of Seagulls-inspired "I Run", the first single, is already making the rounds.-- Time to bust out your black turtleneck. On Wednesday January 21, downtown NYC mainstay Laurie Anderson will curate the Laurie and Friends concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House. The bill includes Brightblack Morning Light, the Dirty Projectors, and art-funk screamer (and LaBelle member) Nona Hendryx.-- Paris/L.A. songwriter Jeremy Jay will release his sophomore album Slow Dance on K Records on March 24, and I have to imagine the folks at K are pretty happy about that incredibly twee title. K will also release Jay's single "Love Everlasting" on 12" vinyl on Tuesday, January 20. Given that Jay's first album came out just last year, that's a pretty quick turnaround. Good hustle, Jeremy Jay! He'll tour Europe this winter and North America in the spring.

If any rock band in 2013 seems poised to make a piece of epically silly “November Rain”-style music-video ridiculousness, it’s probably Kings Of Leon. And their video for the Mechanical Bull ballad “Beautiful War,” with its seven-minute runtime and its themes of grand personal tragedy, certainly ...
