Mix of static and dynamic taxonomic content

I'm confident that there's a module (or four) to do this, but as a complete newbie to the platform, I'd be really grateful if someone could take 40 seconds to point me in the right direction.
I want to create a page (block, whatever) that displays nodes (uploaded files, in this case) hierarchically based on tags in a certain vocabulary, where all the nodes (or even better, some user-configurable number of nodes per category) appear on the same page and descriptive text appears in place of the terms.
For example (pseudo html):
* The following stories talk about bears, generally
* These are about brown bears
- <a href="./brbstory1.pdf">Story Title</a>
- <a href="./brbstory2.pdf">Story Title</a>
* While these are about black bears
- <a href="./blbstory1.pdf">Story Title</a>
- <a href="./blbstory2.pdf">Story Title</a>
* We also have plans for a few FTL starships
- <a href="./plan1.pdf">A Small One</a>
- <a href="./plan2.pdf">A Big One</a>What combination of modules seems appropriate for generating something like this?
Thanks
The views module sounds like
The views module sounds like it might be a good place to start. I reall am not sure I understand what you want though. The views module is a lot to get your head wrapped around, but it is a very useful swiss army knife as is CCK.
For help, I seem to recall that there is a views podcast on lullabot.com.
