Collabs rock...they always bring out something that never would have happened written all alone. Are they always better? No. Lots of classics are written by one person. But I'm beginning to believe they are USUALLY better, due to having someone watch your back, and vice versa.

That said, these internet collaborations do miss something special for me: the same room. Something magic happens when more than one person gets into the zone together, each hitting that creative rush simultaneously...you can feel it in the air. Sometimes internet collabs are like playing chess by mail.
