Playlist Description:

The new Scrapomatic album I’m A Stranger and I Love The Night is set for an August 21 release on Landslide Records. Today we are premiering “Night Trains, Distant Whistles” from the record. Mike Mattison (Tedeschi Trucks Band) who co-founded the group with Paul Olsen, has this to say about the song: “‘Night Trains, Distant Whistles?’ is a true musical collaboration, aided by sweet hunks of Taj Mahal and Bobby Bland’s His California Album. Paul hit on the lyrical concept while staying at [guitarist] Dave Yoke’s house on the edge of industrial Atlanta, where you can still hear the distant whistle of night trains, the neighbors have raccoon traps and you must carry a bat when walking your dog (to protect it from other dogs.) Essentially, this song is about running away from your problems. Which we recommend.”

Hey Dylan!! i know that you get alot of these types of messages every day from all this teneage girls, i know it gets annoying, but i just wanted to let you know that ever since i saw you on Drake and Josh and The Clique, there was something about you that i couldnt forget your name. but anyways, do you think you could help me with writing a song? i have writers block and if i could have anybody in the music world help me i would want you to, considering we’re the same age, it would be easier for you to understand. Ok, well i hope you have an amazing day! and you can email me back but you dont have to. its up to you. im not going to sit here and beg you to. Your a normal human being, and you deserve to be treated like one:)
