Last June, Milwaukee Record hosted an interactive public discussion at Cactus Club with author Steven Hyden that we called “Milwaukee Record Book Club.” We recorded it and released it as a live episode of our “On The Record” podcast, swearing we’d host another Book Club again sometime. Maybe.

Thursday, June 22—almost exactly a year later—we’ll reconvene at Cactus Club for another edition with a different author. This time around, we’ve invited Vinyl Me, Please Senior Editor Andrew Winistorfer (and possibly other VMP contributors) to join us for a lively chat about the record subscription club’s first book, “100 Albums You Need In Your Collection.” Not familiar? Here’s how Vinyl Me, Please sums it up:

“Celebrating artists as varied and influential as Bikini Kill, Aretha Franklin, Wilco, and beyond, each entry includes an album’s artwork, a short essay from a contributing music writer, and further suggestions to help you expand your taste and build your collection.”

Once again, this event is free and open to the public (21+). It starts at 7 p.m. The book will be available for purchase on-site, and both Vinyl Me, Please and Milwaukee Record will hang out after for a DJ set that will feature albums in the book and beyond. See you there!
