A NEW multi-million pound eduction centre for autistic young adults is set to open in Worcestershire, creating 100 new jobs.
The #6 million college has been hailed as a huge step forward in services for people living with the condition.
Called the Adolescent to Adult Life Preparation Service College Midlands, it will provide specialist care and support for up to 32 people aged 16 to 25 with autism.
The facility is being created by converting a Georgian house, set in 30 acres of countryside along the River Severn at Hanley Castle, near Worcester.
It is the brainchild of the Alcester-based Options Group, which was formed seven years ago to boost the care of children and young adults with complex special needs.
Alex Niven, head of autistic services at the college, said: "This facility will provide top quality accommodation to enable young adults to practise life skills in a safe environment so they can engage more fully with the wider community.
"We shall be welcoming youngsters from the region as well as further afield and we cannot wait to open our doors to this project."
When complete it will include seven residential units and bed-sits, shared kitchens, communal lounges and dining rooms.
The college will also include arts and crafts facilities, computer rooms, a hydro-therapy pool and a 'snoozelum' - a sedate room installed with a hi-tech interactive fibre-optic lighting system.
A working farm and rural studies centre will be incorporated into the grounds surrounding the property.
It is currently being converted by Bromsgrove-based constructors Weaver PLC, and is set to open in the summer.

Columbus Day Poem-IN 1492
Columbus Day Poem – IN 1492
Columbus Day celebrates when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12th, 1492. Although centuries have passed, his discovery of the New World is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October. This year it is coming up on October 13th.
Here is the most popular Columbus Day poem in the US. It's used to help teach the history of Columbus.
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
"Indians!Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.
Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.
He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

A little late I know, I'm sorry – but I'm back with March's Read of the month!
When deciding specifically what to include for this month, I knew it had to be Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. While March was a big one for women (with International Womens' Day and Mothers' Day), I didn't actually pick this book because Honeyman is a female writer. Really, it's because I have seen this book absolutely everywhere over the last month. It was all over the 'Twitterverse', the London tube, GoodReads, honestly everywhere – even my housemate was talking about it! It was like it was haunting me.
So, in short, I caved, bought it and here I am.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the debut novel of Glasgow based Gail Honeyman. The text follows the eponymous character Eleanor Oliphant who leads a simple and somewhat limited life working 9-5 in the same job she's had since she left university, living in the same flat, and also spending her weekends the same way too: drinking a litre of vodka and eating pizzas from Tesco Express.
While for some of us this may sound like a dream weekend, the fact is that, aside from her mother (who we are told very little about), Eleanor is almost completely alone.
"These days, loneliness is the new cancer – a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way." – p.227
In an interview with Foyles, Honeyman said that when writing the novel she was inspired by an article she read interviewing a young woman who "would leave work on a Friday night and wouldn't talk to anyone again until Monday morning":
"When I thought more about it, I realised that there were plenty of potential routes to a young person finding themselves in those circumstances, through no fault of their own, and how hard it can be, at any age, to forge meaningful connections." –Gail Honeyman
While loneliness is felt by everyone to some degree at various points in their life, young adults are often looked over and, while it may not have been completely intentional, for me Honeyman's text really pushes this forward in Eleanor and I think this in particular is why the text has resonated with so many young people since it's publication only last April.
Personally, it did take me a little bit of time to get into the novel, but I think that's more because it's the sort of book I'm not used to reading. Reflecting on my reading experience now, I am definitely one of those it has touched.
I found Eleanor a lovable and engaging character, and you really sympathise and connect with her as you follow her journey and that's what hooks you. Her journey is a difficult one, and heartbreaking at times to read, but she is not a victim.
You really want her to succeed, to flourish. She makes you want to hug everyone around you and tell them everything is going to be ok. I love the complexity of her character and that by focusing on Eleanor, her thoughts and her processes, Honeyman gives readers the opportunity for that connection between text and reader to develop, questions to be raised and discussions to be opened. In all, it's perfect if you're looking for something to make you think as well as to lift your spirits.
Thought-provoking, unusual, funny – definitely a must read.
It's even already been snapped up to be produced as a film by Reese Witherspoon's film company Hello Sunshine! I can't wait!
Have you got your hands on it yet? What did you think? Let me know!

Tiny Houses Spacious as Mansionsby Joseph Hutchison on November 26, 2018 Permalink
As with my previous Peter Handke post, I'm sharing enough of this remarkable collection by Samuel Menashe to give a sense of his work without giving away too much. I first encountered Menashe several years ago, when I volunteered to record books for the Colorado Talking Book Library. My first assignment was unenviable: a rather standard textbook focused on reading and interpreting poetry.Read More
Don't Miss My U.S. Book Launch Reading with Kyle Laws on Friday, May 25thby Joseph Hutchison on May 14, 2018 Permalink
In late April I launched my new collection, Eyes of the Cuervo | Ojos del Crow, at the boutique seaside hotel Melody and I have enjoyed every year for more than two decades. (See the YouTube video below.) Eyes/Ojos is a bilingual, illustrated edition translated into Spanish by Patricia Herminia with drawings by Sabina Espinet. It is limited to 250 copies which have been numbered and signed by moi. Now, on May 25th, comes the official U.S. launch of Eyes/Ojos, in the Mad Blood Presents reading series hosted in Evergreen, Colorado.Read More
Step into The Magic Rectangleby Joseph Hutchison on December 23, 2017 Permalink
I suggest that you devote some of that holiday cash the Jolly Old Elf put in your stocking and snag a copy of my friend Sandy McRae's extraordinary new book of prose poems from one of our premier indie publishers, Folded Word. You'll thank yourself when fangs of ice are hanging from your gutters because you'll be inside, warming yourself at the fire of Sandy's crackling wit. Note the caveat below, however: the first edition is already running low! So take my advice and don't wait until the glittering ball drops in Times Square….Read More
James Wright: A Life in Poetryby Joseph Hutchison on December 20, 2017 Permalink
I just finished Jonathan Blunk's powerfully moving biography, James Wright: A Life in Poetry. It is everything a great biography should be: a delicate balance between passing time and the abiding genius that seems to irrupt from a region outside of time. Given his family background, Wright was a person who should never have fallen in love with language, but thanks to some sensitive and insightful early teachers, he did, and so we have the opportunity when we read him to fall in love with it in poem after poem.Read More
A Beautiful Way to Start the New Yearby Joseph Hutchison on December 18, 2017 Permalink
My good friend Gary Schroeder, who co-coordinates the First Saturday Poetry Series at BookBar and who writes marvelous poetry, has a new book, After Rain, coming from Folded Word, a fine indie publisher based in New Hampshire. Gary's poems are rendered in gorgeous calligraphy by JS Graustein, the moving force behind Folded Word who is also a photographer and writer of fine lyrical prose. And, as you can see from the cover below, I wrote the foreword.Read More
All I've Done For You, or The Return of Joanne Greenbergby Joseph Hutchison on November 25, 2017 Permalink
The problem with being a writer who writes consistently beautiful prose over many years is that fashions in fiction come and go—or, more to the point, fashions in publishing, which, as an enterprise, has less and less interest in beautiful prose; the publishers' interest tends more toward pleasing whatever demographic the marketing department has identified as the sweet spot.Read More
Rediscovering a Major Colorado Poetby Joseph Hutchison on June 17, 2017 Permalink
I just finished reading an extraordinary collection of poems by the long-overlooked Colorado poet Belle Turnbull. Certainly no better poems have been written about the lives of people wooed into the mountains by a vision of wealth—from gold, silver, molybdenum, and other elemental substances—and a primal sense of personal liberty. Edited by David J. Rothman, an excellent poet in his own right, and Vonnegut aficionado Jeffrey Villines, this book belongs in the library of every poet and certainly every reader who cares about poetry of the American West.Read More

Awesome Autumn/Halloween Swap Galleries
|Share the love...
|One of my favorite things about Craftster is the many craft swaps that take place. I love to make something for my partner, and receive wonderful crafts in return. There are always lots of swaps to choose from. I'm always looking in the galleries for inspiration, and since I love Halloween, I've been keeping track of several of the current Halloween swaps. Here are some of my current favorite galleries, with a sample craft from each one. Hint: if you don't want to read all the gallery chitchat, click on the "Show Images Only" button at the top of the thread. That way, you'll be able to view just the great photos.
Here's a swap I never miss: the Vintage/Retro Halloween Swap, co-hosted this year by kittykill and goatgoddess. This swap always has a wonderful gallery, and this year is no exception. Pictured here are some vintage trick or treaters, made by KarenLouiseM.
|There are a variety of great fall crafts in the Falling for Autumn Swap, hosted by johnson.mom2two. I just love these little squirrels that Mountains and Clouds made.
|There are so many wonderful ATCs (artist trading cards) to see in the Surprise Halloween ATC Swap, hosted by Witchhippie. This spooky haunted house card was created by fabricfriend.
|I have really loved following the Halloween/Autumn Ninni Swap this year. Hosted by susanab, in this swap, everyone used the same pattern to create little Halloween monsters, or "ninnis". Each one is so unique! This little candy corn monster was made by Skrabadoo
|Another swap I always love is the Chunky Haunted Houses Halloween Edition. Where else can you receive you own tiny row of haunted houses? This one was made by loves2experiment.
So, if you're not a swapper on Craftster, why not? See what you're missing? Check out the Swap Gallery for more fantastic swapped art. Get in on the fun! If you are a swapper, what swaps are you participating in now?

What if you could kiss frizzy hair good-bye and win back control? Goldwell's Kerasilk Keratin Salon Treatment is a premium service that promises just that. And we're in love with it. Here's how it works and why we recommend it.
The Kerasilk Keratin Treatment Service provides long-lasting transformation into perfectly smooth and soft hair for up to 3–5 months. The secret is a high-performing Technology they called KeraShape.
|Glyoxylic Acid
|Color-Caring Silk
- High-performing KeraShape Technology actively interacts with the hair's structure
- During the Keratin Treatment it penetrates into the hair and creates new keratin bonds to re-shape the hair structure
- The surface is long-lasting smoothened and softened
The exclusive in-salon treatment consists of numerous steps but these are the main ones:
- Shampoo with Keratin and Liquid Silk that gently cleanses and prepares the hair for the Keratin Treatment.
- Application of Keratin Smooth and Shape formula with Thermal-active KeraShapeTechnology that transforms unmanageable, wavy/curly and frizzy hair into long-lasting smooth and soft hair like silk.
- Application of heat in the form of a blow dry followed by flat iron.
- Shampoo again and applying a special Finishing Cream Serum that seals in the effect of the KERASILK KERATIN TREATMENT and minimises odour. It also provides heat protection.
It's a formaldehyde-free formula, meaning it's very gentle on your hair and scalp and there's no more heavily irritating smell during the treatment.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy? A question we get often asked.
The product packaging does not indicate that it's safe to use during pregnancy, however we asked Goldwell Head Office multiple times and they always reassured us that it's completely safe.
We did a bit of research ourselves and found that even formaldehyde free products may contain a chemical that when exposed to heat, may create formaldehyde and therefore could be harmful, however Goldwell's Kerasilk range doesn't contain that chemical (methylene glycol).
We would advise you though that you wait until the second trimester with your treatment, especially if you are sensitive for smells.
What you should NOT expect from this treatment:
It will not make your curly or wavy hair completely straight – you see, it's not a straightening treatment, rather a smoothing treatment.
However, by applying heat (hair dryer or hair straightener) you'll find it much easier to create a straight hairstyle because your hair will be manageable and your waves controllable.
One thing worth to note: the treatment may make your hair colour turn 1 or 2 shades lighter. That's especially true when your hair is chemically treated, eg. coloured or bleached. It's best to wait 2 weeks after the treatment to re-apply your colour again and from then on, it's normally back to the usual colour routine.
Salon exclusive home care products will help you maintain the salon results.
Simply fabulous!
Contact us to book a free consultation and let us help you create a frizz-free, super smooth hair crown that will save you precious time in the mornings for months to come.

Weed Recipes: Marijuana Snickerdoodles
Check out the below recipe for marijuana snickerdoodles for a fun twist on a classic treat. Have you tried this or a similar recipe before? Let us know in the comments.
The small Pennsylvania Dutch cookies with the funny name are deceptively simple. It's only cinnamon and sugar that gives them their terrific flavor. Because of this simplicity, I prefer to make the medicated version of this cookie with kief. I find the finished cookie tastes better, as the somewhat nutty flavor of the kief blends better than the more common herbal undertones of cannabis-infused butter.
Be sure to decarboxylate your kief first. Learn how, along with more tips for cooking with kief and hash at this link.
This recipe will have about 35 mg THC per cookie IF you used decarboxylated average kief (60% THC). To adjust the dosage up or down for your personal needs, and to reflect the strength of the kief you are cooking with, be sure to take my FREE 10 minute online Dosing Class that will teach you how to use the handy dosage calculator tool on this page.
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Servings: 26 cookies
1 3/4 cups sugar divided
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter at room temperature
1 1/2 grams kief or finely ground dry hash
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and remaining sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in kief or ground hash and beat until cannabis concentrate is evenly distributed in the butter. Beat in the egg, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce speed to medium-low and gradually mix in the flour mixture just until blended.
4. Scoop out cookies, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, and roll between your hands into a semi-flattened ball.
5. Roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture to completely coat the outside and then place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until fairly firm and just beginning to brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Recipe Notes
Decarboxylation & Dosing Kief and Hash
* Be sure to decarboxylate the kief or hash first by placing it in an ovenproof dish and baking at 275 degrees F for 25 minutes. Click here to learn more about cooking with kief and hash.
**This dose is only a suggestion. Be sure to read and understand Calculating Cannabis Doses in Edibles before attempting to cook with marijuana.

Exercising for at least 20 minutes, three times a week during pregnancy, can boost the brain development of the newborn child.
Babies born to mothers who were physically active were found to have a more advanced cerebral activation, suggesting their brains developed more rapidly.
The findings have the potential to guide public health interventions and encourage women to exercise during pregnancy.
Being active during pregnancy has also been shown to ease recovery after birth, make pregnancy more comfortable and reduce the risk of obesity in children.Read more at University of Montreal

What involves two Tonight Show extras recreating the sexy pottery scene from Ghost while dressed as E.T.? That would be Jimmy Fallon's What's Behind Me? game.
Reminiscent of a Who's Line Is It Anyway? bit from way back when, Fallon and guest Tina Fey had to take turns getting the other to guess what absurd thing was standing behind them. The first round saw King Kong holding a hot dog in a top hat, and the second round saw this Ghost-ly monstrosity.
As Fallon said, "You can't unsee that." But, Fey joked, "It's surprisingly sexy."
Fey, a Tony nominee for her Mean Girls Broadway musical, didn't realize there would be actual actors acting out these ridiculous scenes. "That guy's at work right now," she joked, pointing to the hot dog. "That's his job."
The comedienne will return to her old Saturday Night Live stomping grounds this weekend to host the season finale. A former writer and cast member for the late-night sketch comedy series, Fey is already a member of the elite Five-Timer's Club. This Saturday will mark her sixth time hosting, and she'll be accompanied by Nicki Minaj as the musical guest.
Watch her play What's Behind Me? in the video above.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A Talent man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in a cocaine trafficking ring, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon announced on Friday.
A federal judge sentenced 31-year-old Jonathan Alan Ochoa to 120 months in federal prison and five years' supervised release for "conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime."
"Mr. Ochoa's actions show a blatant disregard for the law and public safety. The lengthy prison sentences ordered in this case reflect the seriousness of mixing firearms and drug trafficking," said Billy J. Williams, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. "I thank the ATF agents involved in bringing Mr. Ochoa and Mr. Manzer to justice. Our communities are safer thanks to their efforts."
Court documents reveal that Ochoa worked with worked with two other men to bring more than 500 grams of cocaine into Oregon from California to be sold and distributed. However, their efforts led to a meeting with an undercover agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), who they attempted to give cocaine in exchange for multiple guns.
"Mr. Ochoa compounded his drug dealing by accepting firearms in trade for illicit drugs," said ATF Seattle Field Division Special Agent in Charge Darek Pleasants. "His willingness to engage in this lawless behavior undermines the safety and security of his community and contributes to other related criminal activities. His sentence is appropriate and serves to send a message to the community that actions like this will not be tolerated."
During an attempt in August of 2017 to transport 1000 grams of cocaine from California into the Medford area, agents arrested Ochoa and his co-conspirators as they tried to bring guns and cash back to California.
Ochoa previously pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime on October 29, 2018.

Sauvignon Blanc
(Oakville, California)
On Bottle/Website:
* 13% Alcohol
* Definition of Pomelo: giant citrus fruit native to Malaysia and thought to be an ancestor to the grapefruit
* Reminiscent of coral pink tangy juice from a pomelo
My Notes:
Appearance: clear, bright, light straw, low concentration, no rim variation, medium viscosity
Nose: clean, medium intensity, young, pineapple, peach, lemon, grapefruit, white flowers
Palate: dry, medium body, lemon and grapefruit prevalent flavors, medium alcohol, medium acidity, medium plus finish, medium plus complexity
I had read about this wine being a great California Sauvignon Blanc value, so I picked up a bottle. One of the first nights the weather started being nice enough to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine after work, I opened this bottle up to try. My friend had made mango salsa that we were savoring and then topping our fish tacos with later.
I loved how the flavors of this wine danced with the acidity and flavors of the salsa. My friend, on the other hand, did not care for the pairing. The flavor of the wine turned lime-centric and sour while drinking with the salsa and fish tacos. To me, it almost made it taste similar to a margarita. The sourness also reminded me of a crisp green apple. A few sips after we were finished eating, the wine seemed to mellow again since it did not have the flavors of the food to accompany it. I rather enjoyed the drastic change in flavor, as I found it both interesting and delicious.

McGann Construction, Inc. embraced the green building movement long ago and continues to demonstrate a strong commitment through its construction practices. We maintain dumpsters on our sites where workers separate and recycle concrete, wood, cardboard and paper products.
We understand and welcome the fact that the contractor plays a key role in the green building process. It has been our policy dating back to the 1995 to recycle waste materials at our construction sites. While we do not have architects on staff, we have an excellent working knowledge of our role in partnering with the design team on green building.
We recognize the importance of optimizing energy performance, utilizing light reduction environments and water use reduction strategies. We realize the need to use low emission materials to improve indoor environmental qualities. Recycling, lighting, air quality, water usage and the ability to select the appropriate materials takes a huge step toward the goal of energy efficiency and protecting the environment.

His name could be hard for certain tongues to get just right on the first try, but when it came to his golf, Severiano Ballesteros was a universal language, no translation required. Other players had more perfect swings and more even-keel mindsets, but has anybody ever seemed more meant for the game than Ballesteros? In his abbreviated prime -- before back problems and swing gremlins took their toll -- one only had to watch him for a hole or two to sense his charisma, his command, his creativity. Fairway-wood from 240 yards out of a bunker? Check. Punched 4-iron out a forest, curving toward the target like it was directed by remote control? Got it. Tricky pitch shot with everything on line? No problem. It was singular, inspiring golf that came out of Seve's heart, not from a book. —Bill Fields

Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors with Spider and Tulip
Looking back at the turning point of the history of Japanese Animation
Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors and The Spider and the Tulip are the two distinctive animated films made during the height of the Second World War. Although the war was going on, the atmosphere of the films is calm and pastoral. While retaining the influence of American animation, the seed of Japanese style emerges. Mr. Tochigi Akira, curator of the National Film Center, will join us to discuss the importance of these films.
"The Spider and the Tulip"
The Spider and the Tulip is the most famous film of Kenzo Masaoka, who devoted his life to modernizing Japanese animation. Using a prescoring system (recording the sounds first and making animation based on the soundtrack), a children's story by Michiko Yokoyama became a musical animation with delicate movements. A ladybug girl is seduced by a spider but recovers the smile on her face with the help of the surrounding characters.
"Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors "
Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors (Momotaro: Umi no Shinpe), the first feature animated film produced in Japan, was released just before the end of the Pacific War. The film employs a unique style of realism. For example, the scene of a parachute troop was based on detailed research and the cut where strong beams of light fall was made with transmitted light (this was the first use of this technique in Japan). The director Seo said he "burnt out" while making this film. He retired from animation after his next film A Tale of the King (1949) and authored a picture book.

Keyamo dismisses MoU by PDP, rAPC, others; describes merger as 'pure deceit'
The Director of Strategic Communications for the re-election campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari, says the recent memorandum of understanding signed by the People's Democratic Party PDP, the reformed All Progressives Congress rAPC with more than 30 other political parties to oust incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari is not a grand coalition but simply a membership drive.
Festus Keyamo, while speaking on the recent MoU signing in Abuja said the PDP have sucked in those 'briefcase' parties who are going to drop their identities to support a PDP candidate.
Speaking further through his twitter handle, Keyamo said; "This is pure deceit.
"PDP has only succeeded in registering a few more members into its fold. It's not a 'grand coalition'. It's just membership drive.
"Nobody is deceived: In 2013 four MAJOR parties with ELECTED govs & parliamentarians fused into ONE whole."

Musician Eamon Fogarty is somewhere in America, touring with his band in tow, when we speak on the phone. I mean to ask where he is, really, but we get wrapped up in conversation—about prog rock, DIY, the old days of punk rock and his salad days at Middlebury College in Vermont.
Fogarty's current tour is also his big move from New York City to Santa Barbara, California, where his girlfriend lives, so I know his time was precious. Still, I've been bumping his album Progressive Bedroom (out last year on Indiana label Joyful Noise Recording) practically nonstop since he sent it last week, ahead of his upcoming appearance at Zephyr Community Art Studio, and I can say without hesitation that Fogarty's got the goods.
A subtle yet comforting combination of proggy weirdness wrapped in an accessible pop 'n' guitar package, Bedroom is the kind of album that can phase from a pretty keyboard-laden instrumental intro like "Spannungsgesteuerter Nervenzusammenbruch" (don't ask us to pronounce it) to a soulfully groovin' bass line beneath Fogarty's Stephin Merritt-esque vocal work on a jam like "The Carrot" without feeling disjointed; if prog rock is the foundation, indie rock is built on top of that.
"[My] band in high school—we were really into progressive rock," Fogarty says, recalling a time in the early aughts when he eschewed the burgeoning and popular world of hardcore and screamo for weirdo bands like Can or Neu!, a time when he was developing his musical sensibilities. "We liked improvising and we liked writing our sort of Baroque song suites and instrumental freak-outs a la the first Pink Floyd albums, but it was a very insular period of musical development. Interacting with an audience didn't develop for us until later."
He'd go on to college at Middlebury to pursue environmental studies and nonfiction writing (journalism, Fogarty says, is for "people who have their shit together"—agree to disagree), a place where he'd also join the chorus and advance musically, picking up theory and better habits, opening his mind even further to the possibilities of classical music and jazz. After college, he went to work as as cheesemonger in New York City where, he says, "I was just trying to make music," but it wasn't until a fateful trip to Los Angeles that Progressive Bedroom really came together.
The musical aspects had been completed in a home studio in Catskill, New York—the instrumental tracks, overdubs and all—but Fogarty took his sweet time with vocals until a friend connected him with Psychic Temple mastermind Chris Schlarb in LA. They worked the vocals out quickly and Fogarty would eventually join Schlarb for a tour that subsequently led to his next album, nearly finished with the working title Blue Values. If Fogarty had enjoyed improv before, Schlarb's work in connecting him with more than 10 session musicians for the as-yet unreleased stuff brought it to another level.
"We only had two days. We almost didn't even rehearse half the time, but they were just bringing everything I could possibly want to the table," Fogarty says. "I could give them the vaguest instructions and they'd know exactly what I was talking about." It's unclear what the final product will sound like, but if Progressive Bedroom is any indication, it should expand on Fogarty's willingness to experiment with time and melody.
As for the title of Progressive Bedroom, Fogarty says it's a bit like a joke to himself. "It's my way of describing what I do because, for me, a lot of people these days might associate 'bedroom production' with a Mac DeMarco—someone who records everything in his bedroom," Fogarty explains. "But the first artist I associate with that is Elliott Smith, so it's kind of my way of starting to anticipate that question, 'What do you do?'"
Rest assured, Fogarty still plans to take full advantage of the professional studio world. He says he's learning more every day about what goes into making the albums he loves sound the way they do, even if he does have a background of home recording. Regardless, he's cultivated a lot of material and says the scope of a venue can dictate what he might play.
"Sometimes it's fun to just play something strummy. A folk song," he says. "I like to be adaptable. We'll figure it out."

8 pm Sunday Aug. 12. $5-$10.

Environment groups say NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has sold out to big business over its plastics pollution policy.
It comes after Western Australian announced this week it will join South Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, Queensland and the ACT in moving to ban single-use plastic shopping bags next year.
NSW and Victoria are the only states not to adopt similar measures.
Ms Berejiklian this week said her government did not need to ban shopping bags because Coles and Woolworths would phase them out within the next year.
She pointed to litter from used plastic bottles and containers as being the real problem in NSW.
She encouraged people to recycle their used plastic drink bottles via the 10 cent container deposit scheme set to be managed by Coca-Cola Amati, Carlton and United Breweries, Asahi, Coopers and Lion from December 1.
Her comments were pounced on by environmental groups, with Greenpeace deputy program director Susannah Compton saying it amounted to the Berejiklian government handing over power to corporate interests.
"Saying there is no need to move on plastic bags because Woolworths and Coles have announced bans is an effective relinquishing of environmental leadership by the NSW premier," she told AAP in a statement.
Greenpeace, citing a 2016 report by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority, disputed the premier's claim the retailers' phase out would result in 80 per cent less shopping bags hitting the streets.
It said even if the two supermarket majors, along with Harris Farm, IGA and Aldi, phased out bags, fast food restaurants, liquor outlets, convenience stores and other retailers in NSW still hand out one billion bags each year.
Opposition Leader Luke Foley accused the government of dragging its feet and said corporate Australia should not be left to manage plastic pollution alone.
"It's a no-brainer," he said.
"But the premier is happy for us to be the environmental black sheep."
Greens MP Justin Field echoed calls for a ban on single-use plastic bags while criticising the government for a lack of "an integrated, long-term plan for reducing and eliminating plastic and other waste".
In July, the Woolworths group admitted it handed out more than 3.2 billion plastic bags a year but Coles remained tight-lipped on its numbers.
Veteran ban-the-bags campaigner John Dee estimated the Wesfarmers-owned retailer was likely to be using 2.5 billion bags annually.
