This community has been around for quite a while now. Some of you members may have been active from the beginning. If you feel like your musical tastes have changed in the past couple of years you can make another intro post if youd like. I know mine sure have:) You're old intro posts have been saved in the memories section under "intros". I've also changed the format a little. My first intro idea was a little too broad. This new format gives people more of an idea of what your musical progression has been. Which is way more interesting.

The new format:

Five recent ( this does not mean the artist is recent, just your love of them) fave artists:
1. Feist

Five lifetime fave artists:
1. Bjork

Hi, I'm Rebekah and I'm new to the community. ( I never realised it would be so hard to narrow myself down to ten artists or albums, gah. )

Hey there! I am on here looking for pen pals. I do not have the internet at my apartment, sooo... I do not use this much. I just have a lot of free time, so I want to have some new pen pals. Write to me and I will write back!!!

Kimberly Beach is a recently created music blog/LJ community which features music recommendations, downloads and morethereto.

Every week I offer the following updates:
Weekly Mishmash: Self-explanatory. Within this serenading package lies a mix with 5-10 songs found particularly special and which I recommend to you. Download one, download them all -- I can more or less promise you that you'll find a new favourite among each weekly 'mash.
Topic posts: Songs that goes under a topic. Any ranges such as Happy!, Romance, Angst, Covers, Live... come suggest some.
Soundtrack: Some soundtrack compilations stand out more than others. Posted every other week.
1 Choice: Simply a song that's stuck out in the melody of life recently.

I also take requests, or help you find that one song you just can't find.

If you want to snatch melodious melodies, leave a comment or just take a peek -- feel free to do so! Just come on over, stop by. The more melody-minglers, the merrier.

Set your sails in kimberlybeach!
