Three of the songs were previously released on The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs, and "As You Turn to Go" and "You You You You You" were previously seen on The 6ths' album, Hyacinths and Thistles. Aprils ex-boyfriend and some of his acquaintances surround Bobby. Story 1: The Burns family is driving from the suburbs to New York to have Thanksgiving dinner with a troublesome daughter. While her father struggles to drive her family into the city. But when she discovers that her mother has a fatal form of breast cancer, she invites the clan to her place for Thanksgiving. We see April running at Wayne in anger (for kidnapping her turkey) but we dont see what contact, if any, occurs. Peter Hedges' 'Pieces of April,' this year's Thanksgiving movie, ends prematurely and has a side plot that's a distraction and a cheat, but it contains much good humor and works, anyway. Quirky and rebellious April Burns lives with her boyfriend in a low-rent New York City apartment miles away from her emotionally distant family. Jim apparently accidentally hits a squirrel while driving (we dont see the impact). Written by Stephin Merritt and performed by his various bands, it was released on Novemon Nonesuch Records. April cuts her finger while slicing potatoes, but we dont see any blood. By film’s end, April gets to break down the meaning of Thanksgiving for a roomful of equally clueless Asians. And if the film’s humor is mostly misdirected, the drama is pure sap.

Pieces of April is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. One of April’s oddball neighbors inexplicably shocks the girl by poking fun at her privileged skin color before then allowing her to use her oven.
