How can I clear the "now playing" queue?

I accidentally started playing a song and now everytime the app goes idle it puts up a giant tab showing the song, and I can't figure out any way to clear it out. It's a small thing but it bugs me. Any ideas?

    It's simple, but not obvious:

    To clear the queue: Menu Controls -> Stop
    To turn off the artwork display altogether: General Preferences -> Show inactivity artwork...
