A great clip of Joanna Newsom performing her song 'Swansea': http://youtube.com/watch?v=y55RIbj4a8A
For those who don't know her, she is a contemporary harp-playing folk artist from California with an unusual and captivating voice, and overtones of medieval-ity. She is beloved among the indie culture crowd yet her music is extremely poetry-fused and unexpected. Titles of other songs include "Sprout and the Bean" and "Inflammatory Writ"...

Thanks, Steph. I read an SF Chronicle music review of her concert a few months ago (or so). Apparently related to SF Mayor Gavin Newsom, among other things, the review caught my interest, though I've yet to hear her. Sounds as though you like her.
