pHoaming Edison has been played on NTS shows including Perfect Sound Forever, with You Should Learn How To Eat Bugs first played on 12 August 2021.

The man behind pHoaming Edison is James Kavoussi, a musician/engineer who has also been a longtime member of the adventurous New York City group Fly Ashtray and no less adventurous indie rock weirdos Uncle Wiggly. Kavoussi began releasing albums under the pHoaming Edison nom de plume in 1995, with the LP Sold to the Highest Grady (on Dark Beloved Cloud). The appropriately titled Sold to the Second Highest Grady, also on Dark Beloved Cloud, emerged in 1996. The new millennium saw the release of pHoaming Edison's most fully realized effort, Happy Nap Casino. The album ran the gamut from lo-fi to noise to psychedelia and featured a cover of "Theme From Casino Royale," as well as the George Harrison composition "Only a Northern Song".
