Noted Shins fan Natalie Portman has reunited with the boys in her big Garden State headphones for a charity compilation she has curated, which will hit iTunes on October 30, according to a report from EW.com.

In addition to a Shins remix, Big Change: Songs for FINCA includes tracks by Antony and the Johnsons, Norah Jones, and exclusives from Devendra Banhart, M. Ward, and Beirut. The Beirut song is called, um, ''My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille',' (risqué!) and you can hear it on the Entertainment Weekly website.

Beirut is apparently Portman's "new favorite band," and the love is mutual. Zach Condon and co. apparently asked Portman to sing on "Prostitute": "I wanted to so badly, but it didn't work out. I hope they extend the offer again,'' she told EW.com.

There are 16 tracks in all, and the net proceeds from sales of the comp will benefit FINCA International, a charity organization that provides financial services to the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs. Portman-- FINCA's Ambassador of Hope-- has worked with the organization since 2003, according to the report.

Portman also revealed herself as something of a freak folkie to EW.com, saying "I love this whole movement now with Antony and Devendra and CocoRosie and Sufjan Stevens," though she also claimed, "Stevie Wonder is probably my No. 1 [favorite artist]. And Radiohead, the White Stripes-- they're modern-day classics."

She also downplayed her role in launching the Shins into the stratosphere, telling EW.com, "The Shins are the ones who created their own success. No one is gonna think a sound is great just because I say so. They hear the songs, and that's what decides it for them."
