- Did you know you have the same birthday as Billy Corgan and Kurt Russell? That's intense. Peace.
- I've had "Jean" on repeat all day at work, so much so that the coworkers are starting to give me strange looks.

- Hey Aaron. I just finished listening to Marvelous Clouds, and I am blown away.. I didn't want it to end.. "Clouds are not the cheeks of angels you know".. I think Rod McKuen would be proud! Thank you so much:)
- I've listened to the new album once last night and twice at work today. I can't wait to get my record when it comes out. It's really great.
- Hey, if my dad dies, would you be willing to date my mom? She knows how to cook, and she loves the Ween. I'm going to buy her Marvelous Clouds for mother's day. You should consider it.
- Last night in Houston TX, I was finally able to witness Roger Waters perform The Wall and I didnt think life could get any better...then tonight..I got to listen to your Marvelous Clouds..and I was proven wrong…thank you Aaron.
- Congrats on an excellent album. It has so much heart and emotion. The strength and depth of the writing and music reminds me of Harry Chapin. Thank you so much for sharing. Cant wait to buy it.
- I enjoyed listening to your record album. I streamed it on my iPhone while swinging in my hammock that I keep on the roof of my office. I do enjoy my lunch breaks. I took in the sounds as I stared at the clouds that looked very reminiscent of those you've included on your album cover. Then my iPhone overheated because it was in the direct sunlight for too long and I had to shut it off. Then I peed on the roof and went back to work.
- Been going to ween shows for years, got your link for the album, just listened. This stuff is really good. Your delivery with the poem is spot on the guitar soloing enters on the beautiful strangers track I got shivers. Also you did very well with vocal harmonizing throughout the album, not over the top, just right amount. Btw I'm in recovery, good to hear you're looking for a new life.
- I'm at a place in my life where this album fits so well. I needed this more than I can express to you in text form. Can't wait to sit on the porch and reflect on days gone by and the beauty of the future! Thank you and congratulations!
- Aaron, truly beautiful album! Your voice sounds better than ever. Can't wait to see what else you have in store.
- Just listened to the album and it's outstanding. Glad to hear your voice on some fresh tracks, keep up the good work!
- Love the solo album, man. High praise. Always stoked for new WEEN, but this is a two-fer. Your first solo plus McKuen. Thank you.
- I just finished listening to your new record a couple of times and it's fantastic. Really looking forward to its official release. The vocals stick out really beautifully. You've been a big inspiration since I first got into your tunes at the age of 14. I hope to shake your hand one of these days.
- U stayed true and i love it. Kinda takes me back in time when songs ere poetry. Great stuff Aaron.
- The new album is amazing. This is truly on par with Nilsson Sings Newman. Beautiful interpretations. Thank you
- Marvelous Clouds = brilliant! I was woefully unaware of McKuen 'til now, thanks for the musical introduction. Your voice fits perfectly with it.
- Marvelous Clouds is really cheering me up. I've been having a rough few months and it puts a glint back in my eye.
- Your new album is just lovely and inspiring! I love it. Congrats and keep up the amazing work :)
- Aaron, I'm on my 4th listen of your solo album. The vibe to it hits so pleasantly hard. Perfect way to celebrate my 12 month sobriety!
