That's the part that gets me, because I sit in front of charts all day and still can't imagine the patience of moving tiny leaves by hand. The story being about letting go of someone you love makes it hit harder than I expected from a kids' book adaptation. #stopmotion #film https://www.npr.org/2026/11/01/nx-s1-5726764/travis-knight-discusses-his-stop-motion-adaptation-of-the-childrens-book-wildwood https://truthtether.com/post/lcd-soundsystem-still-right https://truthtether.com/post/lcd-soundsystem-still-right Sat, 31 Oct 2026 22:31:21 GMT ChaiAndCharts music nyc LCD Soundsystem's New York song still being called the city's most honest anthem tracks. It's the one I put on during the N/W weekend mess, and somehow it makes the whole thing feel true instead of just annoying. #nyc #music
