Number of times asked – 1612
It’s not a very interesting story. I have no middle name and when I was 17 my then girlfriend decided to tell people my middle names were Jeremiah and Esau. My name is Sam. I was recently informed that S.J. Esau is an anagram of A Jesus. Which has done wonders for my self esteem.

Question :
What is the most recent SJ Esau recording called?
Number of times asked - 9
It has a few names. 'SJ Esau & Twocsinak are A Pair of Pussies', 'Twocsinak & SJ Esau are Feeline Groovey', 'Private Life Of A Cat' and 'Four Point Tool Eater'. It is a split album with Twocsinak and the Esau half of it is based on a live soundtrack I did for an old silent movie of cats being born. The Twocsinak half of it is a nine part conceptual funcake.
