There are some jokes that just write themselves. And this one doesn't take any of Zach Braff's cloying personality to find it's punchline. Natalie Portman has joined forces with iTunes to create a playlist of her favorite indie artists. I'll repeat that because it bears repeating. Natalie Portman has joined forces with iTunes to create a playlist of her favorite indie artists. The playlist costs 7.99 and drops on October 30 with primary proceeds going to FINCA, a charitable organization that supports the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs. The album features tracks by Antony and the Johnsons, Beirut, and exclusive cuts from The Shins (HOLY SHIT, THE SHINS!), Devendra Banhart, and M. Ward. Portman claims Beirut is her "new favorite band" meaning Zach Condon can go ahead and lease that Ferrari he's been thinking of driving around Brooklyn. Luckily, there is an over-arching social agenda here - it's "Garden State" for charity. So even if the music doesn't change your life, your money might change someone elses.
