Briefly: Ozzy Osbourne, Jet, 'Now! Vol. 17,' Camper Van Beethoven
"Bible of Ozz," a four-disc box set that chronicles Ozzy Osbourne 's 25-year solo career, is due out on Feb. 8.
The 52-song collection will include 10 new cover songs, including The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil," Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" and Mott the Hoople's David Bowie-penned "All the Young Dudes."
The discs will be housed in a "weathered, collectable gothic book with new hallowed images of Ozzy taken by famed British photographer/artist Sam Taylor Wood," and will include a 60-page booklet with a "career overview and rare Ozzy photos," according to a press release.
Jet has announced its final U.S. shows for this year. The group will play radio-station events at New York City's Supper Club on Oct. 29, Atlanta's Tabernacle on Oct. 30 and the Chicago House of Blues on Halloween.
The group is also scheduled to appear on "The Howard Stern Show" and on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on Nov. 3. More information is posted at the group's website.
"Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 17," the latest in a long-running series of compilation albums that house previously released hits by a variety of artists, is due out on Nov. 2. The latest set will include 20 chart-topping hits from Nelly , Ashlee Simpson , Beastie Boys, Franz Ferdinand, Gretchen Wilson, Black Eyed Peas and more, according to Capitol Records.
Also on Nov. 2, Capitol will issue "Now! DVD 2," which will feature "the 15 top videos of 2004," according to the label. Among the videos included on the disc are Hoobastank's "The Reason," Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven," Chingy's "Holidae In" (featuring Ludacris and Snoop Dogg), Blink-182's "Feeling This" and Norah Jones' "Sunrise."
Camper Van Beethoven , which last week launched a tour behind its first new album since 1989, had all of its instruments stolen during a stop in Montreal this week.
"While in Montreal, some entrepreneurial scumbags decided to pursue their own love of music by stealing all of the band's instruments," reads a band press release.
