"Old Ideas" is the title for the latest upcoming release from music legend Leonard Cohen.  This is the first time in over seven years that Cohen has released new material.  "Old Ideas" is expected for an early 2012 release, but no official date yet.  Cohen is hoping to tour this album but is uncertain of the future past the album.  I guess we will have to wait and see.
