Ozzy Osbourne, Prince of Darkness and Duke of Sad Reality TV, has a new solo album out that he’s calling “very heavy. It’s a cross between—it’s kind of like a Sabbath/Ozzy album, you know,” he told the Pulse of Radio. “It’s kind of, it wasn’t meant to, I didn’t plan on doing it but that’s the way it unfolded. A lot of it’s very, very heavy. I just hope people like it. I love it.” Whatever you say, Ozzy.

He plays Tacoma Dome with special guest Slash on February 5; tickets ($30-$80) go on sale this Saturday, October 16, at 10am on livenation.com.

Meanwhile, folksy alt-rock band Guster is back with a vengeance after a four-year break from recording—critics are calling their new album Easy Wonderful the “best of their career.” I have yet to conclude that…I’m still listening to that catchy-as-hell 2003 track “Amsterdam” on repeat. And “Airport Song.” Love those bongos. But I am enjoying “Architects and Engineers” (the video above is one of 12 made by 12 different directors for their new album).

Guster plays the Moore Theatre on January 18; tickets ($30) go on sale this Friday, October 15, at 10am at stgpresents.org.
