A first for everything

I texted a radio station for the first ever time this morning. Not to hear my name on the radio - I was walking from my car to my workplace at the time. Just for the pleasure of it.
It was a breakthrough experience. The last time I contacted a radio show was an email to Mark Goodier a decade back (when BBC email contactability was in its infancy).
And the content of my text?
MOYLES LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL CULT.
I even spelt KULT incorrectly! You had to be there.
I texted XFM once because they were asking for gig reviews (er, big shock that). I had seen the Beta Band the week before and they were terrible and I relayed that in my text. I didn't hear it get read out but the people I had gone with did. Shortly afterwards the Beta Band split up. You do the math.
