Songs for a New World

I found a roommate on Craigslist, but Gabriel Kahane found inspiration.
Craigslistlieder is an art-song cycle that takes it texts from funny/witty/poignant ads the composer found on Craigslist.

Craigslistlieder
I: You Looked Sexy
II: I'm Sorry
III: Half a Box of Condoms
IV: Neurotic and Lonely
V: Today I Met...
VI: For Trade: Assless Chaps
VII: Two Years Ago, My Sister And I... (Some Dipshit Through (sic) Out My Bottle)
VIII: Opera Scene

Sweet.
(you can download/listen to the cycle for free here)
