The song cycle Craigslistlieder are art-song settings of eight anonymous posts Gabriel Kahane found on the ubiquitous personals/classifieds website Craigslist. They range from hilarious findings to clever literary observations and more.

"There's an interesting subgroup of composers who sing their own songs, blending aspects of art song and pop. Gabriel Kahane [is one among] four notable practitioners. Don't miss Kahane's "Craigslistlieder," a cycle of songs drawn from doleful and peculiar ads on craigslist.org --Alex Ross, The New Yorker
