Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A question. Manchester is England’s musical second city, right? But was it, before the eighties? And if not, what was? Liverpool? 780
Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 30/07/2026At the Langham Hotel to accept our Mercury nomination. Total surprise but a huge pleasure. And no, I’ve checked, there isn’t another photo where I’m holding the statuette less suggestively. Sorry 7684

Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 18/04/2026This hotel offers both ‘Daily Nuts’ and ‘Nighttime Nuts’ but it’s 6pm so I’m not sure which is appropriate. Might wait an hour. #huangzhou #riderwatch 4402

Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Thank you Copenhagen. You’ve always felt like a second home to Suede but last week’s gig was a truly special one. Tusind tak. 0322
Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Trying to book a restaurant in Paris for my day off and huge respect to French restaurant websites. Menus? Not a chance. Online booking? Of course not. And a bonus mark to the ‘change language’ button which simply shrugs at you and simply redelivers every single page in French. Paris, never change 5521

Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 21/11/2025In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived 551568
Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 16/11/2025The Stanley Donwood/Thom Yorke/Radiohead exhibition at Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum is fantastic. Lots of detail on the working process, sketches and trial runs, and the finished work looks beautiful at scale. Inspiring stuff 1736

Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Devastated to hear that Eamon Downes has died. He was a friend long before we worked together and he was always the most positive, life-loving, funny, kind and gentle person. Sending so much love to his (many, many) friends and the family he adored 0150
Mat Osman @matosman.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I had a chance to read this early and it’s excellent. It’s rare to see the sheer grind of touring so relentlessly documented, and Justin’s account of his condition is done with no pity at all (though it’s terrifying for anyone who works with their hands). Fabulously written, too 1174
Reposted by Mat OsmanAndrew Male @andrewmale.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I love a) this cover and b) how Suede now look like the cast of a gritty ITV crime procedural.
