Behold:
http://www.breakoutband.com
Beats + vocals. Use their beats or apply to become a producer. I think the best thing about this, apart from the built-in platform for publishing "your" music, is that you can see which beats other people have used to make "their" music.
The worst thing is that all the music belongs to breakoutband.com - though you're allowed to use it for "personal, noncommercial" purposes. But anyway, this is pretty fun!
I found out about this at Next NY - a board for digital publishing and social media jobs. They are looking for a Marketing Manager to help them reach their target demographic. I'm pretty sure that this job posting is, itself, reaching their target demographic, since these days it seems like half the successful bands in Brooklyn have members who have day jobs in marketing or social media.
This also makes me think, in light of articles like this one (via Sabina) about live performance in the digital age, that artists could make a huge mat with touch-sensitive buttons on it, and pay dancer/musicians to jump on the right buttons at the right times. You could film the results from above and project it onto a big screen! #hasanyonedonethisyet
This is also like the coolest thing ever (via Charmian):
