For the sailors, the departure meant leaving behind the harbor where 17 shipmates were killed and 39 were in jured on Oct. 12 in what officials be lieve was a suicide bombing attack. “She left with some help from her friends, but she still left very proud ly,” Barbara Bodine, the U.S. ambas sador to Yemen, said of the Cole. The destroyer’s journey began at 9:20 a.m. local time as the American flag was hoisted on a mast to a hearty cheer from the sailors. Two yellow tugboats steadUy and slowly pulled the destroyer out to sea while two more pushed.

Arrogant. Self-Indulgent. Possibly the best words to sum up Robbie Williams, whose second US album (following 1999's appropri ately titled The Ego Has Landed) finds the former Take That star (the UK's New Kids, er. Backstreet, er N'Sync of the early 90's) at his pop masterful best. Whether it be subtle, earnest ballads like "Better Man" and "Love Calling Earth," or groove thumpers like the infectious "Rock DJ" (with its stunning/nauseating video) or "Knutsford City Limits," Williams is definitely winning. Hence all the singing. Might as well add superb to the list and bulk up the ego a little more. CPA: 3.6 - Help Robbie's insecurity and listen to: "Let Love Be Your Energy," "The Road to Mandalay," "Rock DJ" Creeper Lagoon Watering Ghost Garden, spinART Records by Steve Lichtenstein A little bit of everything blots indie fav Creeper Lagoon's new EP, Watering Ghost Garden, a six song hodge-podge of layered, atmospheric rock. The abstract, disassociated bravado ("Time sits on a corner/curled up inside a glass") of the Flaming Lips-tinged "Roman Hearts" gives way to the modern rock radio feel of "Big Money Struggle." All things considered, the brief album is more than enough to give fans salivating for the San Franciscan's next full-length effort something of substance to chew on until then.
