So whether it's Ronson desecrating Dylan or if say... Gwen Stefani decided to put her patented Absolutely-nothing-going-on-here-but-a-video slant on the collected works of Sepultura -there's nowt the writer can do to stop another person releasing a cover version of a song (...except maybe break their fcuking neck which is what Ronson has coming to him)

As far as I know the only constraint put on the person doing the cover version is that they cannot add or alter lyrics (other than to delete lyrics) without the consent of the writer and publisher. They can chuck the entire melody, instrumentation and arrangment in the bin if they like.

It's worse than that - Dylan apparently gave the tool his blessing.

Havent heard any of their music but in the UK Mirror music reviews page, they come highly commended by Bono and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody. Surely the kiss of death for any band.

This Mika is an interesting fish. Not my thing at all mind, actually I don't mind Grace Kelly but the more recent one is very annoying in a Robbie Williams/Scissors Sisters hybrid way.

I do think though that there's an Indie-Kid snobbery of sorts at large and a double standard too in relation to him. He's dissed and rubbished for apeing Freddie Mercury by various publications and their adherents -who themselves hold up as "seminal" -bands who ape Joy Division (Interpol, Arcade Fire), The Clash (Libertines) and Buzzcocks (Arctic Monkeys).
