VU covers

I'm a sucker for coversongs, so let's start a thread.
"In 2008 Dirtmusic (Chris Eckman, Chris Brokaw and Hugo Race) was invited to the Festival in the Desert in Mali, next to Dirtmusic?s tent was that of young Touareg desert blues/rock band Tamikrest. The two bands found themselves jamming together almost non-stop and discovered that their ideas and music fit perfectly. When Brokaw struck up the first few chords of ?All Tomorrow?s Parties?, Tamikrest just jumped right in without a second thought, as if they?d been listening to the Velvet Underground since the release of the ?Banana? album - which they hadn?t.
One year later in 2009 Dirtmusic returned to Mali to record their new album - with Tamikrest backing them in the studio. Luckily, they recreated last year's jam in the studio, with also Fadimata Walet Oumar from the famous Touareg group Tartit lending her sublime vocals. The blend of sounds and influences on this track is stunning but also feels completely natural." (by me a little edited text from Dirtmusic - BKO bandcamp page)

Really like the handclapping and the vocal sounds (what to call them, jodelling? how to describe them? better just listen!). ENJOY!!
