Morning Buzz: Dream Theater, Paul McCartney, Matador

:: Mike Portnoy has left Dream Theater?!?! That’s like Paul McCartney leaving Wings. Well, not exactly…

:: Speaking of which, President Obama will be giving McCartney a Kennedy Center Honor… even though Macca was making googly eyes at the First Lady a few months back.

:: The folks at Matador are celebrating the label’s 21st birthday in all kinds of ways. In addition to the insanely expensive (but insanely awesome) party, they’re releasing an amazing six-disc box set. And it comes with poker chips!

:: Sargent House is running a pretty killer vinyl sale, offering four LPs for $40. But in case you’re more inclined toward compact discs (weirdo), you can get four of those for $20.

:: Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond recently pushed out a limited-edition split seven-inch. She also pushed out a limited-edition baby boy in July. See what I did there? Eh? Eh?

:: Looks like Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, an elevator and an “adult woman” don’t mix.

:: Some dude is planning to play a song that’s 78 hours long — in its entirety live. That means it ends four days after it starts.

:: Just when you’re starting to have a little more faith in mankind, the rug gets pulled right out from under you.

    I wish Howie Mandel would leave Disturbed already and focus on America’s Got Talent, so that news like this wouldn’t continually ruin my day…

    Yeah man. I didn’t really even think about it until this morning and then I did a Google search of “Howie Mandel + Dave Draiman” and there’s quite a few lookalike images out there. Damn, do those chin piercings annoy the hell out of me though.

    I suppose we should expect to see Portnoy in a few months with a gay haircut, decked out head to toe in Hot Topic merchanise announcing that he’s joining Avenged Semen-filled full time. Talk about a lousy career move.
