The Beaver FM



Thanks to modern technology, the Beaver operates from a small room constructed in the garage of Kim and Doug Hayden, well-known local realtors. How small is the room? The average person can’t stand upright and there is only room for a desk, a few chairs and the equipment that runs the 10-watt station.

But the Beaver staff who have gathered to work here “the little radio station that could” don’t seem to mind. The DJ's are cracking jokes on air and kibitzing as if they’ve been doing this for years.

“Our coverage area is the southeast Calgary communities of Douglasdale, McKenzie, McKenzie Towne, New Brighton, Copperfield, new areas like Seton, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston, that’s where our focus really is,” they said.

“We really want people out there to know about the Beaver and if they have different events that are going on, or things they think we should know about, we would be more than welcome to put that on the air.”

The Owners say that the station is trying to rebuild the sense of community that Calgarians often lament has disappeared as the city has morphed into a modern cosmopolitan centre.

The Beaver will play popular music from “five decades,” according to the DJ's, and cover just about any genre.

“They’ll hear everything from the latest releases that come out today to the classic rock n’ roll tracks of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and everything in between,”

Listeners can contact the Beaver through its web site beaverfm.ca (which is under construction), where they can find a calendar of community events and the request email if there’s a particular song they’re hankering to hear.

Lohan sues over Give Me Everything by Pitbull


So aparently there's some drama with Lindsay Lohan as usual. She's suing Pitbull for his all time awesome song but I'm sure he doesn't give a shit cause "tonight he's off to do a battle preformance for a princess then make her his Queen and make love to her endless"
Acording to TMZ.com Lindsay Lohan has just sued the rapper Pitbull for a line in his mega-hit, " Give Me Everything ," for a disparaging lyric about her. The song -- written by Ne-Yo and Afrojack , also defendants -- has a line: Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin' I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay is pissed, claiming in her lawsuit ... "the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants about the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff." Lindsay, who claims in the lawsuit she is "a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild, is suing under the New York civil rights laws, which protects people from having their name exploited for commercial purposes. Lindsay alleges the appearance of her name in the song "causes [Lindsay] to be associated and identified in connection with defendants." The suit -- filed by Stephanie Ovadia -- seeks an injunction to stop all of the defendants from broadcasting the song.  It also seeks unspecified damages.  Ovadia is the same lawyer who filed the E*TRADE lawsuit on Lindsay's behalf, which settled for a confidential sum.
My veiws: Lohan the only kind of actor you are is making an asshole of yourself in front of cop. Pitbull was clearly just stating he's "got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan" MTV.com says The "Give Me Everything" lyric was in reference to Lohan's July 2010 stint in Los Angeles County Jail, when she served 13 days of a three-month sentence for violating probation on a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.
