Cat-5 and more...
...oh my. It seems like EssY is a person after me own heart.
Pockets: Cybertool, mobile, change, card case (got tired of a bulky wallet), folded bills, keys, USB keys, Tux microlight, and a pen/pencil.
Briefcase (hereafter known as my 'bag of tricks'): Cat-5, a handful of homemade RJ45 adaptors/converters, various Knoppix discs, assorted bits of code, train schedules/maps, adddress book, business cards, screwdrivers, diagonal cutters, narrow pliers, felt-tip marker, digital camera, SD chips & card reader, battery, sunglasses, and a various other things I can't recall. Usually a book or two, and presently an iBook. The last item pleases me greatly.
Length? Fear not, the Cat-5 is longer...

Quite a variety of associations
Pretty much anything from Radiohead's "OK Computer" reminds me of some fun times driving in New York (Manhattan) - though I think "Electioneering" most reminds me of flying up 6th Ave, beating a few cabs on a quiet night, putting a big ol' grin on my face.
"Let Down" sort of stuck with me after the end of my last relationship. Added to that would be REM's "She Just Wants to Be" and "I'll Take the Rain." I have grown a definite distaste for REM (it was more her thing than mine), but I've left those 2 alone in iTunes.
The more amusing association I've noticed is with a few songs that ended up in a random playlist of mine ages ago, namely those by Linkin Park and Staind. All I know is that when I hear them, I think of killing Nazis - that playlist seemed to crop up more frequently when I was playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
When hacking code, I tend to like listening to various bits of things, with trance surfacing a decent bit. "Hacking is not a crime in the Netherlands" is also something that I think of routinely when working on stuff, being a rather amusing track, and well done, at that.
The only association I'm kind of wondering about now is for "Punchup At a Wedding" - a cousin of mine is getting married soon, and I'm kind of partial to that tune for no terribly good reason...I have a funny feeling it'll run though my head during the reception.
Otherwise, I don't have any really vivid flashbacks to songs...I'm much more of a visual person than aural.
Oh...then again, there's Santana, playing in the background while I was in the darkroom with some friends, making prints, and someone uttered the line forever stuck in my mind, "Whose foot is that?" Oddly enough, that all came back to me the other day when I was configuring a Smoothwall (and did the association of "Smoothwall" to the song "Smooth," which was playing at the time).
