Welcome to Series 6 of Oh! Brother. As we enter our Perverted by Language era, our guest this week is Suede bassist, journalist and author, Mat Osman. We chat about hearing The Fall for the first time in a Sussex bedroom, getting the call to support them on tour, Mark E. Smith’s unique way with compliments. We also discuss Suede, their formation, successes and reformation, and how Mat ended up writing novels in hotel rooms. Enjoy!
