Neneh Cherry has posted footage of her former group Rip, Rig + Panic performing with her father, trumpeter Don Cherry. The video was recorded in Tokyo in 1983, by a member of the audience. Cherry says Don was on tour with her after appearing on Rip Rig + Panic's 1982 album I Am Cold, on which he played trumpet. Watch the video of Don Cherry and Rip Rig + Panic above.

The mainstream has been ripping off the underground since day one, but Ke$ha's recent stage shows have reached further from leftfield than usual, into the realm of The Residents. A video of her recent tour shows a gaggle of dancers clad in top hat and tails, with canes and The Resident's signature disguise, the eyeball head mask. Apparently Ke$ha has also been spotted wearing a Residents t-shirt, but hasn't yet commented on her borrowing, and the group are currently considering their options.
