Emily Long at Applehead Studios in Woodstock, New York with Chris Bittner and Dirty Ern writing for @FlannelChannel
This is the best video tour of Applehead Studios I’ve seen on the internet. Coheed and Cambria have had some fun ones and even filmed their satirical “A Favor House Atlantic: The Movie” there. Applehead was where a lot of the magic went down for the first three Co&Ca albums. As funny as the “penis peeper” video was, my favorite until now has been Rape Kit. Anyway in this video, songstress Emily Long shows us the studio with CJB (the resident engineer there for nearly a decade) and they talk about the monstrous console once used by The Rolling Stones and The Black Crowes as well as countless others. Emily also shows us the microphone that idol Debbie Harry recently used while she and her band, Blondie, were walled up recording their latest record… And even gives us a preview of the track she sang for Flannel Channel’s forthcoming compilation/mix tape/record. In the live room you can even catch a glimpse of Josh Eppard’s old kick drum. But no studio video is complete without some fun. There’s a bit of DJ Dirty Ern messing with an Emily Long vocal sample on his iPhone in what I believe is the beat making app and we get the opportunity to meet some of the animals living on the farm outside! Applehead Studio is definitely the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in Woodstock- inside and out. Blondie loved it so much they filmed their video for their cover of “We Three Kings” right there!
