Welcome to the debut of We Go to Extremes, an exploration of our favorite and least liked of a particular subject, this week albums as a celebration of Record Store Day's Spring edition on Saturday, April 18th. As you consider what selections to drop in the comments, keep a trip to Vinyl Record Dude in mind (7228 E Shea Blvd, the SE corner of Scottsdale & Shea) if you're in the Phoenix metro area. Music supplied by DJ Jasper and her kick-ass team spinning the wheels of steel throughout the day!!!

As we help Alison "MetalBabe" Cohen celebrate her 20 years of defining rock and roll passion on the Sunset Strip, she guides us on through her early days in Southern California, a shooting star from the Midwest who quickly jettisoned corporate dues-paying for her destiny in music, to how she tenaciously built her @MetalBabeMayhem line promoting a lifestyle by and for rockers! Alison also triumphantly kicks off our inaugural "Make Up Your Mind, Dude (or Dudette)!" segment, rifling through "this or that" selections. Turn it up and embrace the FUNSANITY!!!

Jump back, what's that sound?

Bon jour from Chiens Dog's Olivier Sardi and Clémen Taillefer, our latest guests from Quebec! The guitarist and singer bring their love for Jimi Hendrix and spaghetti westerns while they share stories about crafting songs on their Monument Universel album drawn from surviving separate battles with swerving cars and unwanted rodent house guests; how their experiences with Franco and Anglo cultures developed their "Franglish" vocabularies; and we of course had to talk a little trash about Olympic hockey gold.

That's right, All Over the Place Nation, your eyes and ears have been recalibrated for raising your glasses and pumping your fists like it's the 80s but keeping both feet securely in the 21st century, all courtesy Wicked's brand of rock N roll! Bassist Danny Martin joins us to herald the summertime arrival of their Go Power album; what it's like simultaneously introducing unbridled fun into the veins of younger rock fans while taking Gen X back to the glory days of the Sunset Strip; humbly appreciating support from hard rock and heavy metal legends; drawing on their Western New York roots when supporting and cultivating a rock brotherhood and community; and a whole lot more! How can you resist?

David Fishof loves turning dreams to reality via his Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, now celebrating its 30th year of uniting rock and roll fans with rock stars of all genres!

He also reveals his involvement with The Bridge documentary, which follows ten survivors from the October 7 attacks and how they learned to heal through music at the Fantasy Camp.

Star of screen, TV, stage, voiceover, and beyond, D.B. Sweeney stops by to promote Protector, the action-thriller co-starring Milla Jovovich and Matthew Modine hitting theaters March 6th. We also learn how D.B. ensured Courtney Cox's breasts stayed hidden from the camera, hear his no-holds-barred take on method actors, marvel at his spot-on impersonation of Peter Falk, and much, much more.

As January gives way to February, the time of year when Hollywood traditionally dumps their worst movies into theaters, we celebrate our favorite awful movies. Your popcorn mileage may vary.

MTV, even long after the "M" portion of their name seemingly retreated to the shadows, and arguably for better than worse over the course of its 40+ year history, influenced not only how we consumed music, but also shaped commercials, movies, television, award shows, fashion, language, presidential elections, and beyond. Thanks for the memories!

Team AOtP sets their sights firmly on a spectacular 2026!

A new team member joined, more fantastic guests visited, and views from our fans exploded in 2025! As we look back on the past year, we at All Over the Place cannot thank you enough for your support!!! #2025review #music #movies  ⁨@DZPresents⁩   ⁨@CathyRankinEntertainment⁩   ⁨@vinylrecorddude⁩   ⁨@DrumTalkTV⁩  #funsanity

Rattlesnake Suitcase's Jarrod and Cap'n Zack slide onto AOtP in anticipation of their upcoming "Eddie Van Maiden's Big Jukebox Show" tribute to Van Halen, Iron Maiden & Sabbath/Ozzy at Phoenix's Rebel Lounge on 12-27. Lovers of the craft *and* the buck, Jarrod and the good Cap'n sink their teeth into the respect they have for the musicianship of 70s rock & roll while also reveling in the tongue-in-cheek cheese n' sleaze of the 80s Sunset Strip scene. No alcoholics nor any dull moments here.

Deck the halls and loosen your waistbands as AOtP clears the cupboards and liquor cabinets in a Threefer inspired by our favorite delicacies, desserts and drams. Hit the gym in January ... or not.

Night Terror frontman Jason McMaster breaks down the monster riffs, thundering rhythms, and wailing vocals behind the band's Return of the Witches EP, before he shatters any preconceived notions that heavy metal maniacs can't appreciate and respect being as influenced by Elton John and David Bowie as KISS and Iron Maiden.

Gone way, way too soon, we celebrate the many films & roles of the hilarious, heartwarming, and versatile John Candy.
