It's cool. I'm a huge fan of the Mighty Mos Def and he's the headliner. The Zune team created the "Zune-Live at the BBQ" series from the ground up, working with artists...

The new Zuneinsider background is a picture of the crowd rocking out to Common during last week's BBQ. Download the full image here . In a related story, Zunesphere posted video of the artists' performances. And if you'd like to provide an image for the background, email me at askzune (then type the "at" symbol) microsoft.com. For me to pick it; it has to be PG, and big enough to fill the entire background on a 1280X1024 resolution monitor. Oh, and I have to like the picture.

I'm about 10 minutes from boarding my plane and have time for a mini-update. The BBQ rocked. A few thousand people showed up Ate amazing food (ribs, grilled veggies etc) cooked on these massive grills: Saw amazing artists: Played some Xbox 360 inside of: with Common headlining: For a (way) better recap, check out our buddy Felix's post at the Sphere (he also snapped all the photos)
