Music Portlander Wins Decemberists Video Contest

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Tue, Mar 6 at 7:42 AM

Remember that Decemberists green screen video contest that spawned the rath of Stephen Colbert? Of course you do, and now that the dust has settled between the band and Colbert, a winning director was been announced. Kurt Nishimura, a student at The Art Institute of Portland, beat out a gazillion other potential directors, taking home the grand prize of a “brand new iMac courtesy of Capitol Records.”

WHAT?

I mean, an iMac is nice and all, but is Capitol that broke from handing out Payola?

Anyway, you can watch the video here.
