I actually, like a dork, emailed Kele from the band awhile ago... and asked about the Sleater-Kinney reference. He wrote back:

"yes i love sleater kinney. they are one of my favourite bands, and i know oxygen. the thing about staying fat is that it was a demo of ours, we didnt ever think it was going to be released. i was stuck for words so i just freestyled that sleater kinney thing, thinking i would change it when we rerecorded it. because we had no time it ended up being a bside to banquet and it travelled the world. im really bummed cos i wanted to chnage it properly, but alas. no one seems to have noticed but i think its a bit shoddy, i would like to apologise to them if i ever meet them. kx"

mate, how did you contact kele?
