Dylan is out of town this week, so we are releasing this month's Bookender in the main feed. Bookenders is the once a month show were Justin and Dave Brown discuss an album through the lens of it's first and last song.

This month we are talking about the debut full length from the post Gorilla Biscuits band, CIV. Set Your Goals was released in 1995 on Atlantic Records, and resulted in the minor hit "Can't Wait One Minute More". We are taking a look at the opening title track, as well as the stripped down closer "Don't Got to Prove It". All episodes of Bookenders are available for free at patreon.com/punklottopod and oklahomalefty.substack.com
