I'm Just Thankful to Be Facing the Day

It's been kind of a bummer of a week for various reasons, so to try to start the weekend with some pep (and to make up for this week's song being so late), here's two takes on "Trains to Brazil" by Guillemots, a song that almost always puts me in a good mood. Well, the usual rollicking version does. That version is heard in the first clip below, performed at the 2006 Mercury Prize ceremony, with the band dressed like it just stepped out of Alice in Wonderland. The second clip is a stripped-down affair from Rotterdam in the same year. Enjoy:
