On behalf of the Zune team, Happy Halloween. I thought I'd share with you my favorite theme-appropriate song: I'm off to CMJ; I'll be blogging from there!

So we’ve said all along that we are looking at expanding Zune to other countries, but we haven't made any official announcements about timing. Many of you have seen the recent statement re: U.K. availability. It was taken out of context, and it's not representative of the official Microsoft position. Right now, everyone here's excited to launch Zune in the U.S. on November 14th, and I'll share additional details on other countries as they become available.

We partnered with streetwear design kingpins Union, UNDFTD and Stussy to create limited edition Zune devices for an auction: Hypebeast has the details . In other news, I have perhaps seen. . . the greatest video tribute to America , EVAR. I just had to share.

Not sure why, but I had a flashback: my first concert. Back in 1994, some buddies and I went to go see 30 Seconds Deep (now defunct). There's actually a record of the show online . That ska /punk show was the first time I moshed . Feeling nostalgic, I dug around and found their old EP for sale for. . . 2 Dollars?! A steal at any price! Anyways, it got me curious about you, dear blog reader. Tell us about your first show. Who* did you see? Drop a comment. * I know it's actually "whom."
