Crucial Track for June 11, 2025

"Small Ads" by Small Ads

Random Discogs Track

I used to own this single many years ago and recently re-acquired it, like a week or so ago. The nature of random means it was selected by the shaky phone Discogs mechanism this morning.

You won’t find this on streaming platforms, a minor ‘hit’ in 1981 (60 something in the charts) but I always liked it. If not Mod Revival I’d say Mod Revival Adjacent, but they were a bit too silly (see the video below!) to be taken seriously, which is a shame as this track has a certain something.

Watch with your eyes closed and you might see what I mean.
