[.ca] Stuff

From Amazon.com:
Canadian Holly McNarland is living testimony that good things come in small packages. On Stuff , the diminutive waif sings like a woman three times her size, belting out a brand of full-bodied rock and pop that seems to contain experience well beyond her 23 years. But then that's McNarland's style. Sporting tattoos, facial piercings and coiffed with a short, mottled cap of jet black hair, she might have stepped right out of some goth night spot in downtown Toronto. And, judging by more than a few of her song verses, she might just have gone through the kind of experiences she sings about. But while Stuff often touches on the rougher side of interpersonal, often sexual, relationships, it balances its coarseness with delicacy and maturity. --Nick Heil

Wow. What a presence.:
This obscure Canadian.. This nobody.. Ms. Mcnarland - she really deserves to be very famous, and yet she never had American distribution or any radio-play here.. When I go into a store and see 900 mediocre artists for sale and yet somehow Holly didn't make the cut.. Well, it's proof that life isn't fair - especially to Holly. She's got the fire in her, if only the world would notice, and now years have passed and she's a has-been who's never been. It's unfortunate. If you like heavy-metal angst, the power-chord version of Alanis, well this is your girl. Seek her out-you'll be blown away.

Joey Santiago!!!:
i really like the pixies, surfer rosa was amazing and so was come on pilgram and doolittle. and then they broke up Black Francis became Frank Black and Kim Deal played with The Breeders. Well Joey Santiago played with Frank Black a little bit, but he also is the guitarist on this album. playing guitar on Holly McNarland's Stuff. I enjoy this album Holly is a great signer, lyrics are okay, some of the best pixies inspired canadian pop. also check out Matthew Good Band both are from Vancouver. I remember "Numb" and "Elmo" and "Coward" being well played singles in Canada at the time of this albums release, pick it up... but don't pay too much i got mine for $3
