The Phantom Mouthwash

"Well dat smell stinkowiff."

To answer Sunday's puzzler, the connection between James Blish's Cities In Flight quartet and Klaus Nomi's CD is Spindizzy. A spindizzy, in the books, is an anti-gravity machine which enables cities (and even planets) to be propelled across the galaxy (and beyond) at faster than light speed. Spindizzy was also the name of Klaus Nomi's record label although, oddly enough, I cannot find any information about it on Google.
