Video: Mike Shinoda talks upcoming Linkin Park album



"We mentally want to get back to [2000's "Hybrid Theory"] not because we want to sound like [that], because I don't think we do," Shinoda says of the forthcoming Linkin Park album, which they aim to release in the first half of 2010.

"But we want to make this record a record with identity, hopefully not one you've heard before. One you can listen to and say, 'That's brand new... It's definitely Linkin Park, but it's definitely different.'"

Video: KiD CuDi at the VMA LIFEbeat Benefit Concert in NYC




It was a benefit show, sponsored by a soft drink company, in a nonsmoking New York venue, but that didn't stop Kid Cudi from striding onto the stage Saturday (September 12) night, grabbing a smoke from someone in the front row, hitting it, then launching into a positively spacey set while an audience full of fired-up kids lost their collective minds (and a few T-shirts).

Paying no attention to set times and fighting off myriad technical problems, Cudi bobbed and weaved through a set that drew heavily from his upcoming Man on the Moon: The End of Day album — which leaked last week, leading Cudi to joke, "My album's on the Internet right now, so y'all can download it. But make sure to buy it Tuesday, don't fuck around"

MTV up in there spotted @ Sounds

Video: Pharrell Celebrates Fashion



As part of Fashion's Night Out, a citywide initiative to boost the retail industry, Pharrell worked behind the register at the Soho location of his BBC/ Ice Cream brand. Fans started to line up before the store opened at noon, even though Pharrell wasn't scheduled to arrive until 6 p.m. He said he was fortunate to receive such a turnout.

"I feel blessed. I know that none of this had to be," said Pharrell, who had performed with N.E.R.D. the night before. "I could be in many different places, and fortunately I'm here."

Pharrell founded the brand in 2005 along with A Bathing Ape creator Nigo. The brand is known for its T-shirts, denim, sweatshirts and sneakers in a variety of vivid colors featuring imaginative logos and patterns. More on MTV
