The first video from Seattle buzz band Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, directed by internet-acclaimed That Go!

BEST WEEK EVER says:

This Video Might Mark The Exact Moment That Our Culture Finally Died

I wasn't really expecting much from a band who chose to permanently name itself after a haircut Natalie Portman wore for her role in V For Vendetta, but boy was I blown away by the artistry and amazingess that went into this video for Natalie Portman's Shaved Head's (I feel ridiculous even writing that) song Sophisticated Side Ponytail. Rich in meaning and nuance, with each and every scrap of 80's nostalgia painstakingly woven together into a pastiche of wonderful neon and loudness, like someone stuffed a long-discarded Devo B-side and an entire American Apparel warehouse into a missile made out of sparkles, then shot it - along with a couple hits of high-powered blotter acid - directly into your brain, where it will continue to assault your senses long after you frantically push the Pause button in order to make the eye-raping stop. It's pretty amazing how something with so much visible stimulus can manage to say absolutely nothing. Way to go, hipsters.
