Here's something I saw on MSN might be interesting for some people.
Getting the band together
Traditionally, bands have been some variation of four guys from Liverpool -- friends who start playing music together and decide to get serious. But what if you live in Livermore instead of Liverpool and you can't find three other musicians who are interested in playing the kind of music you like? MixMatchMusic should help. Individual musicians upload their favorite bass lines or drum patterns. Then other musicians looking for good accompaniments to their new guitar lick can browse through the offerings and mix the individual components to form a full song. If other people like the tune enough to download it, all of the artists involved get paid automatically.
Here's a link to the website:

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
