Honest and kind are definitely points I value in a person... sensitive, compassionate, and someone who can enjoy an off-the-wall kind of humour. Someone with intelligence, but isn't alien to silliness... and someone who can tolerate my being a bit over the top sometimes, and can give a gentle tug back to the ground to keep a sense of balance :P I've already found it in a partner, but it applies all around.
But, to be more specific: Sarah, Nir & Rosalind, Remmelt, Stan, Tyler, Chris, Kristy, Federica, Cindy, John, Alex, Anne, Alan, Mari, Kelly, Adam, Francois, Nate, Reagan Jones & Andy Sega, the entire Holland / Germany / Lab30 bunch (Robert & AnneMarie [and the rest of the family!], Tobias, Manfred, Ali, Vangelis, Andreas, Caroline, Jamie, Peter, Kari, Steff & Bianca, Andy, Lasse & Saskia, Grant, Ruaridh, Matt, Sietse, Fedde, Falko, Pascale, Iris, Marc, Sandro, all the other artists, performers, guests... everyone of ya, k?!), and many more I'm sure will come to mind. :)
IDM, Electro, Industrial, Noise, Experimental, EBM, Futurepop, Synthpop, Post-Rock, New Wave, Glitch, Ambient, Minimal Techno, Clickhop, New Age, Neo-Classical, Drill'n'Bass, Darkwave, Electropop, Indie Rock, Dubstep,// Occasionally some Alt. Rock, Goth Rock, Trance, AOR, Goa, Nu-Jazz...
It's just easier to go with at least some sort of genre listing rather than try to come up with a list of artists, but I'll give it a shot. This is likely quite incomplete and will be added to over time:
