Because of my own satisfaction, and my refusal to talk about the upcoming finals, I have decided to amuse both myself and you, dearest readers, with an interview. Today, I will be reporting live from the founding members of TTM &amp; YUK for an exclusive sit-down. They are our very own homegrown rock groups, born from the halls and corners of our school. We, equally might I add, talked about music, the industry, and well, love lives and scandalous mysteries, simply chit-chatting while&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;the serious professionalism of a panel moments away from saying something entirely unserious. In the spirit of journalism and mild curiosity, I now present you the questions at hand:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Were these your debut performances? How&nbsp;was&nbsp;the performance and atmosphere for you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, it&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;a debut, were you not following? It was splendid as always,\u201d responded TTM. YUK\u2019s&nbsp;\u00c7a\u011fan&nbsp;described the atmosphere as \u201cBIBLICAL.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did you think about the crowd? How would you rate the crowd?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe crowd was great. The TTM crowd can never be posers and stuff&nbsp;anyways.\u201d&nbsp;reported&nbsp;TTM. YUK, finding the stage too small to realize the big crowd,&nbsp;stated&nbsp;that \u201cYou can\u2019t always find this many cool people in the same room or same corridor, I don&#8217;t know, the stage was narrow.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you have an \u201cI did it\u201d moment?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utku&nbsp;confidently responded, \u201cI have those everywhere and&nbsp;everytime.\u201d&nbsp;\u00c7a\u011fan&nbsp;was a bit confused, responding \u201cDid what?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was there a point where things nearly went wrong, or are those details being withheld from the press?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somewhat offended, TTM responded: \u201cWell if you think that we went wrong at some&nbsp;point&nbsp;that&#8217;s&nbsp;on you. You hear it that way because we want you to hear it that way.\u201d&nbsp;Conversly, YUK addressed a bit of drama: \u201cWell someone&nbsp;has to&nbsp;be the black sheep.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;how we ended up four.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After such success, how do you plan to remain relatable to the public?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TTM officially&nbsp;stated&nbsp;that \u201c[they] were never relatable to the public,\u201d while YUK responded with a question: \u201cDoes this public have any eyewear recommendations?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should the press expect news that love was found on stage or had developments already taken place behind the scenes?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TTM,&nbsp;from the bottom of their hearts,&nbsp;stated&nbsp;\u201cLove is everywhere, kid.\u201d YUK advocated for their love of music with \u201cLove IS the stage.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the future, what lies ahead: expansion, evolution or plans too classified to disclose at this time?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TTM addressed their future with the power of their talent: \u201cYou should not hide greatness from people. We are&nbsp;gonna&nbsp;be back better than ever.\u201d YUK responded with confidence and glory: \u201cLightning will strike the same place twice. Or other places. Something like that.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a person with an \u201cI Love Music\u201d sticker, I have&nbsp;established&nbsp;ground to criticize performances and concerts as well as have this sort of&nbsp;an intellectual&nbsp;chat on music. On that highly credible basis, I hope you&nbsp;have enjoyed&nbsp;our little chat. Until next week, I shall return to my highly private&nbsp;thinktank&nbsp;where last-minute decision making&nbsp;remains&nbsp;the primary field of study.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;\u0130rem&nbsp;Naz&nbsp;Duymu\u015f&nbsp;(AMER\/III) &amp;&nbsp;Eda&nbsp;Emeko\u011flu&nbsp;(AMER\/III)&nbsp; nazduymus@ug.bilkent.edu.tr&nbsp; eda.emekoglu@ug.bilkent.edu.tr&nbsp; Not only was the previous week a sight for sore eyes and an amusement park for bored minds,&nbsp;it&nbsp;was also very well deserved.&nbsp;Dare&nbsp;I say, applaud yourselves dearest readers, for how far&nbsp;you\u2019ve&nbsp;come!
