Dear Sharon and Peter,

Actually, I am going to take a few weeks’ break from The Red Hand Files as I am back in the studio from today working on songs for the new Bad Seeds record. Is that a holiday of sorts? Maybe.

So far, the songs are sounding great, Peter. I say this with a fair amount of caution because I won’t really know until I get the Bad Seeds into the studio and we actually make the album. But it is feeling very good, very positive.

I will still be reading your questions every day though, so don’t stop writing! See you all in a few weeks.

Love, Nick
