In case you haven’t wondered by now, we envision our Music To Start The Week With playlists as a sort of soundtrack for an entire period of seven days, as we feel every day has a cinematic appeal: morning, noon, afternoon [...]

We’re right in the middle of May and that can only mean Summer’s just a warm breeze away. Let’s all rejoice and welcome the hot weather with a brand new selection of 10 tracks that will spice up your whole [...]

We won’t begin to tell you that ‘Monday blues’ are not called for, but if you’ve suffered, the remedy you’re searching for lies within this blog feature. As always, we search far and wide for the latest sounds, and those [...]

“Music is the healing force of the world / It’s understood by every man woman boy and girl.” Truer words were never spoken, and we’re not talking esoterics, but just the real deal. If you are able to understand all [...]

The blogosphere is filled with new treats to taste, it’s almost like being a child locked up in a candy store. So many rhythms, so many faces and voices, we’d wouldn’t know which one to choose. In the end, we [...]

Take it from Martha and the Vandellas: The time is right for ‘dancing in the streets.’ Or better yet, dancing almost everywhere you’d ever want to go, not just the streets in general. In bed, at work, doing the laundry [...]

Spring has finally settled in, and with the great weather comes a grand desire to be eclectic and diverse. And in this occasion, diverse is our take on the weekly music experience that is Music To Start The Week With. [...]

After a well-deserved rest and a calm celebration of Easter, we bounce back to the daily routine with the aid of brilliant songs that hopefully will keep those spirits way high all through the week. The game is still the [...]

We’ve been eagerly awaiting for yer another Music To Start The Week With, especially curated by emerging faces in the biz. Previously, acts like Jeange, Little Boots, Dan Bodan and Dangerous Muse’s Mike Furey have done their share but in [...]

Aussies ride high on cloud nine with the aid of a krautrock legend, while three Scottish ladies bop their heads into springtime. On their secret laboratories, two one-man-band projects are underway with hints of sadness and slickness. Across the pond, [...]

There are elements that we think will satisfy your ear and overall mood this week. Nevermind the weather, how about goth dance, icy Scandinavian folk, melodious quirky pop, grrrl jams, club-ready house beats and 80s underground movers? If this doesn’t [...]

It’s getting a little bit redundant in terms of what to write before showcasing all ten songs on our WILD playlist. Shall we talk about the weather? It’s awfully chilly in NYC and so far, no signs of Spring. Though [...]

We were already getting used to the idea that 2013 was only taking its baby steps. Now we realize we’re heading for March with all its spring glory. You better rejoice for the coming of a brand new month with a fresh [...]

Our New York days and nights are both quick and extra chilly, but that doesn’t mean there’s time for a frown. Not even a justified one. We strongly suggest you get up, smell the coffee, drink it, shed the attitude [...]

We are still experiencing post-Grammy hangover and while Fun. took away the coveted Song of the Year award, the ceremony was really anything but fun, period. The whole gala served mostly as a backdrop to whatever we wanted to do [...]

It sounds slightly unimportant but we are 29 editions away from our WILD playlist number 100. That, dearest readers and friends, would imply reaching the coveted quantity of 1000 songs featured on Music To Start The Week With. In the [...]

When Sir Bob Geldof wrote “I Don’t Like Mondays” in 1979, he wasn’t exactly thinking of how the first day of the week could really drag people down. But the message was interpreted that way by some, and by now [...]

Word of mouth. That is how things go around in this world of ours. Phone calls, text messages, emails, press releases, links. It’s all the same and all headed for one purpose: spread the word about something we find interesting. [...]

By now, many of you have set up your goals for the new year, and if you haven’t, it’s about damn time.  Mine are pretty simple really, but we won’t get into that. For The WILD, 2013 should be all [...]

Happy New Year everyone! We are still recovering from those great celebrations, but now it is time to embrace 2013′s beautiful face. As always, the new year is our greatest opportunity to have a clean start at everything we might [...]

We can’t help to think about the fact that we’ve experienced one hell of a year. Not only did we ride the wave of the sucess of both the Visionaries and Woman issues, but we also made brand new friends and [...]

“Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!” It does sound like jingle bells alright.  Today is a very special day for us all. No matter what your race, creed, color, religion or political preferences are, this is the time [...]

‘Tis the season to be greatful! We are reaching the very end of this year, and lots of amazing things have happened. Now it’s time to look into the future to check out what will be ruling our ears in [...]

Say hello to the best season of them all. Whether you’re cozy indoors or feeling that unfriendly cold breeze, happiness is basically all around and there is a perfect explanation for that rare phenomenon: it’s December! You better leave the [...]

It’s Monday! The coffee cup is waiting for you on the kitchen table to sip it down and start the day anew. Now, are you ready for some foot-stepping all throughout the week with the latest and not-so-latest in music? [...]

Most, if not all of you are making last-hour preparations for that ageless and enduring tratidion that is Thanksgiving Day. Oh, what a better way to start the Holiday season than to dress up appropiately, serve up some warm and tasty meal, get [...]

Happy November everyone! Iʹm not a native New Yorker but my heart really has gone out to the 8 million people who live in this amazing city, home to The WILD, not to mention the state of New Jersey, that [...]

Here at The WILD, we love to collaborate with established and up-and-coming artists in any way, and usually the results of such combination are nothing short of amazing. In previous editions of Music To Start The Week With, we had the [...]

Time to wake up, smell the coffee (or juice, whatever tickles your bone) and grab a pair of headphones to listen to one of the best reasons to get up on an early Monday morning! Once again, we bring a [...]

No prizes for those who guess what day it is, who we are and what are we about to do. Last weekend, like any other weekend, was just the right amount of time for personal leisure. A ‘detox’ process, as [...]

They say ‘Mondays are a drag,’ and quite frankly, those people do have a point. It’s hard to get up in the morning, in any given first day of the week, having to deal with the weekend hangover and the [...]

Fresh from our one-year anniversary, it’s time to face yet another new month in the year. October is here and with its arrival, there’s a new week filled with hard work, lots of messing around, and of course, plenty of [...]

Every single visitor on The WILD’s webpage is invited to a very special celebration. This week marks the first anniversary of “Music To Start The Week With,” and we’ve come a long way since that initial playlist was published a [...]

Over the course of a year, we’ve been selecting songs from all over, sorting what we like and what we hope you guys like as well. Luckily, our weekly WILD playlist have scored major admiration from loyal readers and some [...]

It’s Monday and we still see lots of chic busy bees on the streets, walking nervously from one extreme to the other. It’s the latter end of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, that tireless tradition in which the most familiar and emerging [...]

Betcha’ think that Labor Day weekend was too good to let go. Unfortunately, not only is it nearly over, but Summer has finally reached its course as well. You can call that a bummer! But never fear, old friends. As [...]

Cheer up Sleepy Jean! it’s Monday and if you happen to have followed The WILD for the past 48 weeks, you know that time has come to showcase the hottest and distinct sounds you’ll ever hear this side of the [...]

At The WILD, we are passionate about lots of things and music is surely one of them. There’s not a day that goes by without hearing a great record and then talking about it on multiple occasions. We also share [...]

We at The WILD are experiencing a major post-Olympic hangover. The party last Sunday in London was overwhelming to all senses: the fireworks! the dances! the Spice Girls riding on top of black cabs! We could have avoided a few [...]

We’ve reached August kids, and that means a couple of things: for some, it’s the official countdown to that eventual return to school. For all of us, it means we’re closer to say goodbye to the hot Summer and hello [...]

There’s not a single sports event that’s more appealing to me than the Summer Olympics. Really, I can’t even put my finger on what it is about them that keeps me frothing at the mouth with anticipation every four years: [...]

A wise man by the name of Robert Nesta Marley Booke once said: “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” Boy, do his words resonate so well even to this day? Just the beat of a [...]

Sunny days, chilly nights and a few raindrops along the way, that’s part of our routine these days. For those lucky enough to get away, and those who are trapped at home, music is a must to face such weird [...]

Lamont Dozier and brothers Brian Holland and Edward Holland, Jr. knew what they were talking about when they wrote “(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave” for Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas in 1963. Sure, love could actually make [...]

Playlists and us, we go back. Way back. To the time where early top 40 radio programmers would devise a list of songs to be played. Or the time where 8-tracks and cassettes were king. Just like mixtapes, they are [...]

We are well under the second half of the year and things are definitely happening. Not only is this feature dangerously approaching its first year of existence (only a couple of months away before that milestone!), but The WILD has [...]

Every now and then, while resting in a hammock with red wine at hand and facing the dusty ceiling, yours truly tends to dabble on a major concern: what to say about the WILD playlist that hasn’t been said in [...]

It’s official: Summer has finally settled in, and that means we’ll have much more of that warm, sticky and humid sensation in our bodies for quite a while now. Having said that, whining is not an option. It might just [...]

We oughta come clean about something here. Sure, we do keep an eye on what’s rolling in on the music blogs and dig deep into our iPods for personal favorites, but we also receive tons of emails weekly with new, [...]

It’s Memorial Day everybody! While we take this time to honor the men and women who served, it is also comforting to know that we can have our break from the horrid weekly routine. For those who traveled away from [...]
