#Corridor - Mimi

#Montreal based post punk art rockers took a turn more experimental and #psychedelic with their 4th album and I'm 💯 here for it. Absolutely the right vibe for tonight, plus the cover art (illustration of a derpy longhaired cat?). Every song is doing something different, doing it well, and in a good way.

#Stereolab x #deerhunter vibes? Immediate purchase.

Oui.

Jaser, pour les québécois, n'a pas de connotation péjorative, il ne s'agit pas, par exemple, de parler avec médisance dans le dos de quelqu'un, mais plutôt de discuter de sujets légers, l'équivalent serait papoter.

Jaser serait papoter et jasette serait du petit papotage.

(Jaser peut avoir ici une connotation péjorative, mais c'est vraiment selon le contexte. La plupart du temps, non.)
