"She's wearing too much lipstick tonight" is a line from the Dismemberment Plan's "Gyroscope".
"Hungry ghost" was almost certainly inspired by Wolf Parade.
"Kid A in Alphabet Land!" was a weird book involving socialism and letters, and was alleged to inspire the title for Kid A (but Thom Yorke denies this).
