Not your dad’s Folger’s crystals Granted when the above-imaged substance is described as “a bitter, crystalline xanthine alkaloid,” it’s not likely to generate much consumer buzz, but then most Americans have something of a love-hate affair with caffeine.
Depending on what day it is, it seems like there is a new scientific study either extolling the under-appreciated health benefits of caffeine or reporting a new heightened health risk from over-consumption. Sometimes things seem to change between cups.
Here’s just a taste:
On the plus side, varying degrees of caffeine consumption have been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, some kinds of cancer and diabetes; slower cognitive decline related to aging; lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and improved abilities (perhaps temporary) to pay attention, concentrate, learn and remember.Â
On the negative side, caffeine can increase blood pressure, a risk factor for strokes and cerebral vascular disease, which in turn increase the risk of multi-infarct dementia. Caffeine may reduce fine motor control movements while conversely increasing the need to urinate. That’s not necessarily a neat combination. High doses are linked to anxiety, accelerated bone loss and “auditory hallucinations.” That voice telling you to have a 20th cup may not be your favorite barista.
So, if you haven’t already concluded, there are lots of pros and cons to caffeine, and lots of myths to, according to sources like WebMD.
Its bottom line: There’s nothing wrong with moderate consumption if you’re a healthy adult. Moderation in this case being something less than a triple venti café latte with multiple add-shots of espresso and syrups.
There is no pretty picture for that.

Smith Westerns have cleaned up nicely. Just over a year ago, the Chicago foursome were of the strictly "lo-fi" persuasion, stirring up hot, filthy garage-rock candy out of Marc Bolan and Beatles signifiers. It was youthful music in feeling and sound-- their noisy full-length debut was recorded while they were still in high school-- but the remarkable hooks buried therein were clear enough to land them on the increasingly stacked Fat Possum roster. And suddenly, they had a studio budget the likes of which they definitely hadn't enjoyed before. Though the leap is audibly huge, Dye It Blonde's many successes aren't wholly the result of its gilded production values and ambition. This band was able to furnish first-class melodies from the beginning. Now they've grown along with their resources. You can hear the progress right away in "Imagine, Pt. 3", a song originally released as part of a split 7" in April 2010. Sped up here just a touch, it's also been re-outfitted with a far creamier set of synths and guitars. The way the latter seem to clasp hands during the coda is particularly breathtaking, frontman Cullen Omori and guitarist Max Kakacek letting their individual lines mate rather than duel. While the melodic foundation was already sturdy throughout, here, what once sounded ragged in stretches is now plush-upholstered from start to finish. Every single piece of Dye It Blonde is similarly decadent, whether it's the sweet whine of semi-titular closer "Dye the World" or the twilight jangle of "End of the Night". In an interview not long after the album's completion, Omori noted that this otherwise new set of songs was influenced by 90s Britpop luminaries like Oasis, Teenage Fanclub, and Suede. All are present sonically and spiritually, be it in brash tones, melodic IQ or the sheer scope of these recordings. Where a Smith Westerns hook may have once sounded like another fuzzy member of the Nuggets family/genus, it now unfolds like crane-shot, mainstage festival fare. "Still New" for example floats some phasered guitar interplay before Kakacek rips a hole across the chest of the song with a woozy line so big it essentially serves as a chorus. Like "Weekend", whose central, hair-flipping lick also hugs all its parts together perfectly, the song just sounds so drunk-- drunk on love, drunk on heavy petting, drunk on drink, or maybe just drunk on a some combination of the above. In song, it all depends on the lean of Omori's voice and the whip of his chord changes, the curves of his brother Cameron's bass lines. That moony/beery-eyed feel bleeds through every corridor of this album and in turn forms a crystalline expression of what moves this band. Their use of the studio in augmenting that never goes overboard, though: this music still retains the innately psychedelic, lamplit, tongue-kissed sense of atmosphere that set it apart. There's perhaps no better instance of all that than "All Die Young", the album's centerpiece. It's a ballad turned hymn whose grand, tumbling scale and "Oh Yoko"-indebted outro celebration are peaks on an album rich in them. In its closing moments, Omori sings what sounds like, "Love is lovely when you are young." They were convincing before, but now they seem like experts. — David Bevan, January 18, 2011 [Pitchfork | Best New Music | 8.4]
