Joanna Newsom Concert

Are you a fan of Joanna Newsom? Do you live in or near Melbourne, Australia? If so, I have a free ticket to her Melbourne concert for you. Due to unexpected family circumstances, I will be unable to attend her concert on the 20th of January, and I'm looking for someone who can use the ticket in my stead.
All right, so the concert is at The Forum on Wednesday the 20th of January, 2010. The time is 8:00 PM. Here's more information about the event, and this is the venue.
I'm a HUGE fan of Joanna Newsom; I think her music is crystalline and luminous and tender and strange, and I do mean "strange" in the best of ways. (Strangeness is beauty's handmaiden; it makes beauty noticeable.) As a result, I'm ONLY willing to give this ticket to a fellow fan, as opposed to someone who just randomly wants a free ticket.
In order to determine the degree of your fannishness, I must ask you which of Joanna Newsom's songs is your favorite, and why. The person who gives me the best answer will win the ticket! We can then arrange ticket delivery through the post, or, if you live close to where I am in Melbourne, we could conduct an in-person exchange. (By "exchange," I mean - I give you the ticket, you give me the squee. There will be no money involved! I promise!)
Delivery details can be sorted out via Private Message or email, once a few people have replied to my question and I've picked a winner. Given the postal problems that have beset Melbourne lately, I won't delay my decision later than the 10th, so that the ticket can get to the winner in time.
I thank you for your time, and for sharing the Newsom-love. Here's to hoping that someone actually responds...! This is my first post on MeFi, after all.
