Video: Dirty on Purpose: "No Radio"

Video: Dirty on Purpose: "No Radio" Eighties-harkening irony is way overdone, but Dirty on Purpose somehow manage to make it fun again in this clip for the horn-soaked "No Radio", from the Brooklyn dream-poppers' full-length debut Hallelujah Sirens. Trampolines, dance aerobics, and kooky couture (sweatbands, sunglasses, short shorts-- and, um, mariachi costumes) all factor into director Jake Hensberry's charming, lighthearted video. The Dirty boys appear to be having a bona fide ball, as do the dancers, and a low-budget glee pervades the whole thing. Meanwhile, some self-aware smirking from frontman Joe Jurewicz puts everything in perspective. Plus: star- and heart-wipes! Nothing quite LOL here, but it's bound to give you giddy pangs.
