People who do funky stuff, make things, have a good sense of the weighty and absurd, and generally fashion a custom ride of life out of the increasingly standardized parts available. Someone who is equally comfortable watching a B movie and discussing science, design, pranks, or projects.
I generally listen to a lot of punk rock, industrial, and electronica, 80's new wave, etc. I'm not very picky about music, though I did get pretty annoyed when my former workmates played marching band music or video game soundtracks.
Anything by Charlie Chaplin, Terry Gilliam, Fritz Lang, Pixar, John Waters, or Mel Brooks; Titus, The Quatermass series, The Wicker Man, The Triplets of Belleville, transcendantly bad B movies, and most things playing at Metropol.
The Prisoner, Doctor Who, The Young Ones, Father Ted, Black Books, The Mighty Boosh, Monty Python, a lot of other odd British comedy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Tick, Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Spongebob Squarepants, and I'm waiting until I have time to start Lost from the beginning.
Geek Love, Beggars in Spain, Crime & Punishment, The Brothers Karamatzov, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, The Year's Best Science Fiction, The Measure of All Things, The Ancestor's Tale, almost any vintage collection of Sci-Fi shortstories, American Gods, all of Edward Tufte's Info Viz books, Most of David Macauley's books.
All those standard undeniable good ones (of course), but equally so those unsung ones. Rosa Luxemburg, Douglas Engelbart, Buckminister Fuller, and Richard Feynman come to mind.
