Therapy? - "James Joyce is fucking my sister" - from "Potato Junkie"(?)
The "Brekkek Kekkek" line is from Aristophanes' The Frogs, so may or may not be via Finnegans Wake
I think there was a C86-era indie band called Baby Tuckoo? (From Portrait of the Artist, maybe)
I guess The Dubliners don't count ;)

Thom Yorke says "I float down the Liffey" from "How to Disappear Completely" is from a dream he had, but it's very FW.

BTW: Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

-- Ferlin Husky (noodle_vagu...), April 9th, 2005.
Ferlin, check out the "Wandering Rocks" chapter of Ulysses -- Bloom (or is it Stephen?) tosses a religious flyer into the Liffey and throughout the chapter the reader sees Dublin through its point of view. Joyce actually studied flow charts to see where a floating object would be in the Liffey during the period the chapter encapsulates.

The Frogs just has "brekekekex koax", I believe. The rest of it marks it as Joyce, I'd say.

Martyn Bates recorded two CDs of JJ's poetry set to very sparse chamber music. that's gotta challenge Erdman and Cage for their JJ devotion dollar.

I think it's a slang term for a soldier, or possibly a policeman. It's in one of Bloom's monologues, either in "Lestrygonians" or "Circe" I think.

"My Dedalus to your Bloom was such a perfect wit"
He's singing about the ghost of Delmore Schwarz, who haunts Lou's house in the song.

I guess its just the word 'trendy' that befuddles me, PB. IMO Joyce is canonized, one of the greats, and therefore bypasses trends since he will be sought out and read by many no matter what. If hipsters start blinding themselves in one eye to earn streetcred, well...

Maybe lots of people really like Joyce.

"Rattle my bones over the stones/I'm only a beggarman, nobody owns".This folk song or nursery rhyme appears in Ulysses, and caught the attention of this Smiths fan who read it back in the day.I once pointed this out to Pete Shelley when I forced him into conversation at a gig. He just quoted Eliot at me and made a swift exit: "Mediocre artists borrow, great artists steal."

Missy line is referencing "Michael Finnegan" nursery rhyme which isn't the same song that FW gets its title from, tho i'm sure it's in the book somewehre.
got a feeling the "rattle my bones" bit in Ulysses is a memory of a nursery rhyme too so Morrissey cd be quoting the source
