This is Jim Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message. I'll get back to you.

I, spy: Edward Snowden in exile #FT http://gu.com/p/4v3xp Good article/interview with Snowden a year on from the first revelations. I find I agree with his positions on just about everything. Those who try to label him as a traitor are pro-security-state & endanger our freedom. I fear it's 'already over' as most people don't understand this stuff sufficiently to form robust opinions & are left little choice but to 'trust the state'. The video is worth a watch also: Edward Snowden: "If I end up in Guantánamo I can …: http://youtu.be/L_amBkYx_Fk http://gu.com/p/4v3xp

Jon Hopkins - Full Performance (Live on KEXP): http://youtu.be/hHe0nckLiYU #FT This is a great showpiece for him. Really like JH. http://youtu.be/hHe0nckLiYU

We just updated our Transparency Report, showing how many requests Google gets for information about its users. But we're not allowed to give the full story because the U.S. government says that requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) must be kept secret. We can tell you this: Requests have more than doubled around the world since 2009, and more than tripled in the U.S.:  http://g.co/u5sp Share this if you believe you have a right to know what our governments are up to.

Catching up with Bonobo on the West Holts stage from #glastonbury via iPlayer. Very nice jazzy grooves & downtempo beats. (They even 'built the band' a la 'Stop Making Sense'). #FT http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/errnc8/acts/av2dgw#p0215wz0

Mark Kermode reviews Transformers: Age of Extinct…: http://youtu.be/zdG8vsSHlZY #FT Lovely dissection of the latest Transformers (& it's reprehensible director) by Kermode. Worth 7 minutes of your time for the Spinal Tap references alone. When Charlie Adams was younger I used to watch Transformers (Cybertron - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Cybertron ) & I was converted (despite the whole thing being one long advert for toys) by the story, characters & Shakespeare-ian themes (Leaders, honour, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, sacrifice, growth/change) - along with the fighting-robots! A film series made with similar quality & great FX could have been really good. Instead it's been trashed by the dumbest of the dumb Hollywood can offer. Shame on them. http://youtu.be/zdG8vsSHlZY

Interesting piece on San Francisco. #FT http://www.boomcalifornia.com/2014/06/living-in-a-fools-paradise/

Diego Maradona against Belgium: the real story behind the famous image #FT #WorldCup Interesting. In my brain I'd associated this with the '86 match. The article nicely discusses the questions of reality/perception/art. http://gu.com/p/3qyb3 http://gu.com/p/3qyb3
