{     Natalie Portman's Shaved Head • Glistening Pleasure     }    

When I saw the name “Natalie Portman” in the music section my heart immediately sunk. Another starlet trying to conquer the music biz, and not just any starlet but the idol for millions who appreciate the perfect blend of beauty and brains. It wasn’t until I read the rest of the name, “Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head” that I saw there might be something behind a band who could take a cool moment in pop culture and twist it to suit their own epithet.

The album, Glistening Pleasure is certainly a pleasure to listen to. Honestly, a great selection of tracks from start to finish with some kick-ass beats, good lyrics, and just a good time album. Some might see it as being a little bit pop heavy, but I think it comes out as a great album worth a repeat setting on your mp3 player.

Real jewels “Me+Yr Daughter” and “Beard Lust” steal the show but don’t make the rest any less worth the time. Check out their MySpace or get some tracks from TheDiscoWorkout, give them a try and see if they’re worth the download.
