Glastonbury 2008: MGMT tackle our 10 Glasto questions

MGMT remembered their festival essentials - a copy of the Guide with them on the cover

1) What's your favourite moment of the festival so far?

A really good DJ set last night with lots of psychedelic and classic rock last night. Stuff like Love and the song I'm a Believer sent everyone crazy ... I was a little out of it so I can't remember much more about it.

2) What's the weirdest thing you've seen while you've been at Glastonbury?

Probably those giant Beatles characters walking around on stilts, like yellow submarine characters.

3) What should be banned on site?

Banned? Bands! No. We'd ban bad vibes.

4) Do you have a festival survival tip?

Stay hydrated. And use a condom.

5) Where did you sleep last night?

On our bus. It was uncomfortable.

6) What have you eaten today?

Some paella. It was quite psychedelic with a lot of mad colours in it.

7) If one historical figure could play Glastonbury, who should it be?

Jimi Hendrix.

8) What one law would you like to introduce on site?

This place needs moving sidewalks.

9) What time did you start drinking today

Not too early. We started around 1pm.

10) If you were writing a Glastonbury poem, what would the first line be?

Tender, tender, tender, tender grounds.
