Carrie Danger
Hey guys! Carrie Danger here and I’m the new evening host for 107.3 Alternative Cleveland.
My broadcasting journey started in 2010 in Lima, Ohio as a morning tech extraordinaire. In 2011 I was granted the opportunity to host the afternoon drive show on 95.3 WLKR in Norwalk, Ohio. For 6 years I was privileged to bring music, information, and smiles to the locals of the Firelands.
After an adventurous few years in North Carolina, I decided to move back to the Northeast Ohio and was welcomed back in at Elyria-Lorain Broadcast Company as board operator and weekend show host. During this time I also hosted “Carrie-Okee” at the local pub!
Fast forward, I find myself excited to bring you the latest in Alternative music and events around our community.
In my down time you can find me reading, hanging with my two awesome cats, and of course listening to music while doing yard work.
Hello there! As many of you know, Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA) dropped their latest 8th studio album “In Times New Roman…” on Friday June 16th. Now as a loyal fan, of course I listened 3 times over while performing various activities. I dig it, all of it. From start to finish this album is 47 minutes 37 seconds and very in your face and VERY QOTSA. In an interview Josh Homme says he wanted this album to sound brutal. According to Josh, it’s all about risk. The lead track is called “Obscenery” and it’s right to the point…

Hey everyone! Back at it from another wild weekend and it was a great one to say the least. The Cure came to Blossom Music Center and so did the rain we desperately needed for NE Ohio. I think Mother Nature knew that was the way The Cure was meant to be experienced. Prior to show time I was up at the table with some co workers and had the pleasure of meeting so many people from different states and great listeners! Enjoy these photos of myself and Maya, Amy and Steve and Walt! With a few lightning strikes and…

Hey everyone! Yesterday was National Best Friends Day and I couldn’t miss out on my chance to talk about and highlight my amazing best friends! What makes a best friend? Well a lot of things really. Someone you can confide in without judgment. Someone who will be honest with you even when you might not want to hear it. A best friend is there for you and never lets you down. It doesn’t matter how long you have been friends, it’s the quality time you spend together that matters. Of course you want to make sure you can laugh and…

Hey everyone, today I thought I would talk about one of the most therapeutic activities one can do… singing in the car or as one would call it “Car-eoke”! On my way into work I was singing my big heart out and it got me thinking about when I see other people simply vibin’ on their own in the car. I usually try and make eye contact and bop with them. I remember way back when I would stop singing or seat dancing at stop lights or if I thought someone saw me. NOW I do not care at all.…

Hello everyone! As you know Death Cab for Cutie played last night (6/4) at The Agora and of course Paramore played at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. So let’s say you made it to Paramore and not Death Cab and you want to know how it went… well fear not! I have the deets for you! Alyssa and I had our regular merch booth set up and got to meet so many incredible people. I think one of the cooler experiences was hearing people say “where is the Wave?” and then being excited that it’s now Alternative! This show was sold out…

Hey everyone, tonight I thought I would write about the holiday weekend ahead of us. Memorial Day Weekend, regarded as the unofficial start of summer but let’s not forget what Memorial Day is about. Originally known as Decoration Day, the first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868. From 1868 to 1970, it was observed on May 30th. In 1971, Congress standardized the holiday as "Memorial Day" and changed its observance to the last Monday in May. Of course it’s always nice to have a weekday off work but don’t forget the reason we do. Coming from…

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to highlight my Grandma Louise, we were able to spend the day together and boy did we have fun! To say that I am lucky to have my Grandma at the age of 34 is an understatement. She is so strong and incredible and such a great role model for the youths of the family. My Gram loves tea so we popped into the New World in Wadsworth and right next door we experienced this adorable shop called Uniquely Handmade You with over 100 local vendors. Funny moment: the owner of Uniquely Handmade You is…

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to talk about something I personally believe in and practice daily. Earthing also known as Grounding. Basically, you stand/walk outside in grass, mud, and water barefoot. It’s really that easy to improve your mood, increase circulation, reduce inflammation and get a bit more in touch with this big beautiful planet we have for a short time. There are plenty of studies on this topic but I’ll reference The National Institute of Health. “Grounding or earthing refers to direct skin contact with the surface of the Earth, such as with bare feet or hands, or with…

Hey there! So over the weekend I was able to attend ‘An Ode to Hessler’ at The Grog Shop with a friend of mine. We had no idea what we were in for. Upon arrival we are told the vendors are downstairs along with the food. It was so great to see a few local artists and businesses there for support. You already know the first thing I did was buy a t-shirt. The food was great, the atmosphere was pretty chill. Upstairs the music had started up, jam bands and great energy all around. I kept hearing “can…

Today is World Goth Day! Now I am not part of the Goth community however I love the look, the lifestyle, the vibe… all of it! The Official World Goth Day site defines it as “a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate its own being, and an opportunity to make its presence known to the rest of the world.” This day originated in the UK in 2009, a smaller scale celebration of the gothic subculture inspired from a broadcast of a special set of shows on BBC Radio 6. UK-based Goth DJ currently known as ‘BatBoy Slim” (love…

Happy Friday everyone! Today is National Pizza Party Day and I think it’s safe to say… just about everyone enjoys this precious cuisine. Red sauce, white sauce, pepperoni, cheese… dare I say PINEAPPLE! This reminded me of memories from days past such as the weekly skating parties at the local skating rink. In my home town we had Magic Wheels. It was THE SPOT. In elementary and middle school they had a challenge for us, if your class had more participants you would win a pizza party. It was cut throat, the determination, competitive spirit of us 5th graders… it…

Hello all, as the weather has finally seemed to break into more steady nice weather… it’s time to get some yard work done! So let’s talk about music that gets you stoked to mow the lawn, weed your garden or whatever is on your outside goal list. As someone who loves to be outside either for leisure or manual labor, music is a must! Of course I think it depends on your mood but here are a few songs that I really dig for my outside time. P.S. Here is a friendly reminder to wear sunscreen and apply it often.…
