Thanks to the wonderful Voodoo Wagon this morning who have achieved the unachievable and posted a Leonard Cohen set that I didn't already have (Nice try Big O but you didn't manage it!)

1993 must have been an extraordinary year, the European concerts especially in Scandawegia are peerless. 

Leonard - Zurich 1993

enjoy  [UPDATE: One of the best you will EVER hear!]
but mourn our losses too . . . . . listen to that golden voice is the best way I know how
This nicely put too from Floppy Boot Stomp

Leonard Cohen, the hugely influential singer and songwriter whose work spanned nearly 50 years, died at the age of 82. Cohen's label, Sony Music Canada, confirmed his death on the singer's Facebook page. "It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," the statement read. "We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief." A cause of death and exact date of death was not given.

Also there are a couple of really interesting covers of Cohen's work from Mojo magazine over at Willard's Wormholes
which are definitely worth checking if you weren't aware quite how far his influence really seeped into the collective artistic consciousness
