To bad that wouldn't work for good music albums. For many years (still, maybe?) albums would come out on Tuesdays. So one day of the week you'd have them all bunched up together.

That's how I remember that September 11, 2001 was a Tuesday. Album day, and there was a good one that day, too.

You wouldn't have them bunched up if you were celebrating the anniversaries, unless all the music you were interested in was from the same year (or only years where 11 September was a Tuesday, say).
Oh, right, good point )) I should take the rest of the day off.
Still happens, but it’s Friday now! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Release_Day
Weirdly enough, I always think that 9/11 was a Friday; and now Album day is Friday!
Jay-Z? Or Bob Dylan?
I always think of God Hates Us All by Slayer. Can't quite pinpoint exactly why.
That's the one!
