UK group Suede (known to some in America as The London Suede) just released their 10th album, Antidepressants, which has them adding dark post-punk to their signature "beautiful trash" glammy sound. It's the latest release in of the best second acts in recent memory.
We talked to bassist Mat Osman about Suede's longevity, the care they've put into every record, especially since reforming in 2010, the album's post-punk sound and his own goth roots. We also discuss Matt's second career as an author and his brother Richard who is behind the very popular The Thursday Murder Club book series. Plus: five records he thinks everyone should own, reunion records, the chances Suede might tour America again, and more.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
