The song seems to be a rendition of "Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second", by the Portland band STRFKR. Am I wrong?

Good ear! You're right on. We purchased rights from the band for this video. It's easy to keep things local when you've got a music scene like Portland has. Thanks for the comment.

Is anyone aware that this song is stolen from a local Portland group?

I'm thinking of graduating from this school, would you guys suggest it? Is it taken seriously on a resume? How many students go there? Are the people nice, acceptable, forgiving, etc? Is it full of a diverse peoples or just white hippies with dreadlocks? Are the staff/teachers nice?

The only thing I don't like about this video is that "hipster" is one of the tags.
