	Tenement Museum : History \| Thirteen/WNET New York
		The tenement at 97 Orchard Street was competed in 1864, the same year in which Sherman marched through Georgia, Tolstoy began "War and Peace," Pasteur invented what came to be called pasteurization, and a heroine named Octavia Hill took on the long battle to reform the conditions of the tenements of London.
		As commonly applied to tenements in the 1860's, the facade was a trickle-down version, in brick, of the brownstone Italianate facades of the row houses and mansions popular with the City's wealthier families.
		Still more important to tenement dwellers was the provision that all school sinks and privies "be completely removed...[and] replaced by individual water closets...properly sewer connected." Not only were the tenants of #97 to get real, flushable toilets in a separate compartment but also one toilet was to be provided for every two families.

		June 8, 1676, and resided thirteen years, a much longer time than is usual to spend at the university, and which he seems to have passed with very little attention to the business of the place; for, in his poems, the ancient names of nations or places, which he often introduces, are pronounced by chance.
		He was this year made one of the physicians in ordinary to King William, and advanced by him to the honour of knighthood, with the present of a gold chaise and medal.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland)
		For over a hundred years before the Cromwellian era Ireland had been distracted by the frequent invasions of the English under desperate and unscrupulous leaders, whose professed purpose was to re-establish English supremacy in Ireland, and to force the new religion of Henry VIII upon her clergy and laity.
		During the years 1736-1738 ten ships arrived at Boston harbour bearing 1000 such immigrants, and hardly a year passed without a fresh infusion of Irish blood into the existing population.
		In the summer of that year, 100,000 men, women, and children, fleeing from famine and death in Ireland, "were stricken with fever and were lying helpless in the riverports and seaports of Canada".

		The band was reformed again in 1988, with Jim Jones and Chris Cutler[?] joining for the release of The Tenement Year[?] (1988), a far more pop-oriented album than ever before.
		The following year, "Waiting for Mary" (off Cloudland[?]) appeared on MTV briefly.

		MUMBAI — Residents of a 90-year-old tenement with cracked walls and bowed door frames in an industrial wasteland in Mumbai panicked when a mild earthquake shook their home eight months ago.
		Following floods that weakened the building further in late July, the state government told them last week it was time to leave the ‘extremely dangerous’ building and head for rooms in so-called transit camps within seven days.
		There is no limit on the number of years a person can stay in a transit camp and many families end up spending decades waiting for new homes.

	Tenement - Museum Info
		This dilapidated tenement, a most unlikely setting for a "historic house" museum, became the anchor of the Tenement Museum's ground breaking efforts to preserve and interpret the history of the immigrant experience on the Lower East Side.
		Today, the Tenement Museum occupies three locations on the Lower East Side, has grown from a part-time staff of two to a full-time staff of ten and sustains an operating budget of about one million dollars with support primarily from the private sector.
		In pursuing its vision, the Tenement Museum is going to find itself right in the middle of some of the controversial issues of American culture.

		The latest issue of Spin magazine counts down the 100 best albums of the past 20 years -- and not one record from this city made the cut.
		The All Music Guide calls The Tenement Year "the most accessible Ubu album that snobs can enjoy without feeling guilty," and that's a spot-on assessment of this odd but affecting disc.
		Tenement pairs the band's erratic, free-form art rock with its ever-emerging pop sensibilities on an album that spans everything from reggae to polka.

		But now that Compton has finally surrendered the spotlight, the duo's original raw, slo-mo style is being revived by a new generation of East Coast rappers.
		And this revival seems to have inspired the originators with the kind of wizened zeal that fired up Pere Ubu on their 1988 reunion The Tenement Year, or Dylan on his 1975 comeback Blood on the Tracks.
		Alas, after steadily pumping out a stream of hard funk samples, infectious catch phrases, and amusing pop-culture references both new and old, the old-timers poop out, leaning on guest raps by overeager disciples, remakes of old hits, and a sideshow dose of horror-core.

		During the long years when village custom and American law had compelled men to marry in Kwangtung and commute back and forth to visit their wives, the presence of families in Chinatown was rare.
		In California (except during the six years while the Immigration Act of 1924 was in effect), these women could then settle permanently, although, like their husbands, they were ineligible for citizenship.
		The tariffs on tea, rice, sugar, silk, and various small articles from China were raised the next year, and it was estimated that the duties for 1862 would amount to nearly a million dollars.

		Along with Wire, Pere Ubu was one of the very few worthwhile reunions of last year.
		Painfully under-recognized and unquestionably years ahead of their time during their prime in the late `70s, this proudly Cleveland unit reshaped the boundaries of rock music, and continues to do so here, in exhilarating fashion.
		An extremely rare chemistry exists between these musicians: while their individual parts seem to have little to do with what the others are playing, it all meshes.

		model of the CD box set, "Datapanik in the Year Zero" preserves the early history of one of the most inventive American rock bands, Pere Ubu, and the scene around it in Cleveland from the middle '70s to the early '80s.
		Yet, while the music sounds even more vital than it did almost 20 years ago, the moods and attitudes that created it are now damnably hard to convey.
		But the band's most touching single moment may be "We Have the Technology" from the first reunion album, "The Tenement Year." In a comely melody shadowed by Ravenstine's harsh squiggle, Thomas re-accepts the oath of improvement through science and industry -- with a twist.

		As a result, their material turns out to be, IMHO, much richer and varied than Ozric Tentacles', Radiohead's or Porcupine Tree's (bands that I honestly enjoy, by the way), just to put some other examples of bands that are categorized as prog or near-prog "with a modern sensibility", or something like it.
		It's been years since I listened to it, but near as I can recall, I wouldn't characterize them as having "progressive tendencies" at all, they were a prog band.
		It is the first really intimate album she's ever done, mostly just her and a piano, singing songs she's written over the years but never recorded.

		Tenement Symphony, with the Tenement theme presented in The Days of Pearly Spencer presents an interesting idea.
		Tenement Symphony was the pinnacle of rock opera of the 1990's, right up their with Webber and Rice, and with Queen of the 1970's.
		Tenement Symphony is one of Almonds top 3 solo albums, but it is also a great soft cell album really, as a few of the songs on the CD were penned with Soft Cell Partner Dave Ball and produced by Dave's side project "The Grid".

		That consistency and continuity (even when they don't play together for years at a time) is part of what makes Wire so exceptional and extraordinary: these guys know how to play with each other, and the noises they make together are truly greater than the sum of their respective parts.
		Swans blossomed over the years after that, becoming rich, deep and orchestral in intention and sound, while Shriekback's life cycle saw them moving in the opposite direction, with the last gasp of their first incarnation, Go Bang, standing as a truly embarrassing record.
		That core trio reunited a coupla years back, and as delightful as it was to hear Eider's spectacular cocktail guitar in the mix again, I think the verdict on this one is pretty clear in the biggest picture.

	Said the Gramophone: July 07, 2006 Archives
		Yet a frustrating quest a few months ago could not turn up the original version, from the album The Tenement Year, anywhere in the digital wilds, legal or no. Weeks later, too late for the mix I’d been hoping to make, I got ahold of a “hard” copy.
		And in the first years of the reanimated Pere Ubu this theme persisted: Where to turn when the dynamic between people is beyond their control, when it wrenches the torch from their hands and blazes through the village?
		And with that the utopia passes to dystopia, to eyes that are “beaming,” to coming “unstuck completely, Flap A from Slot B, slapping in the wind!” It’s a bit like the Internet, this flux of liberated information, of knowledge unhinged from wisdom.

		It includes two songs remade from early 45s that Pere Ubu had released on its Hearthan label (when Thomas was calling himself Crocus Behemoth and the late Peter Laughner was one of the sextet's guitarists and main songwriters).
		The British Datapanik in the Year Zero catching-up compilation is more successful, collecting five of the original Hearthan (aka Hearpen) tracks, including the dynamic, paranoiac "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" and the Seeds-gone-dada "Cloud 149." Dark, challenging material.
		Sounding vital — and as futuristic as ever — The Tenement Year is a surprisingly edgy set that integrates Thomas' loopy digressions into a noise-pop context not all that far from the band's original concept.

		Guitarist Jim Jones and drummer Chris Cutler were also recruited for 1988’s comeback effort The Tenement Year, a vividly idiosyncratic pop album far more accessible than anything in the band’s back catalog.
