I don’t know why I find it so funny, but the cancelled Oasis concert in Shanghai was sponsored by…Kappa. 我不知道为什么我觉得这个那么滑稽，被取消的Oasis上海演唱会是由Kappa赞助的。 I’d never put Kappa and Oasis together in my mind (for me, Kappa will always be happy hardcore raver uniform and not moody, rebellious, whining mancs), but it did remind me of some of the [...]
