| Sputnik Birthdays 2.0
Fuck my life, a previous description just got erased by my stupid computer, so to keep it short: I'll link your birth date (month, day, year) to an album and provide a stupid music related fact that happened that day. Let's go! | 1 | | Deftones Around the Fur
mete0ra
Oct. 30th 1997
Two days before Deftones released this emblematic album. Kiss, the Cure and Judas Priest also released albums. Hell, even Eros Ramazotti released an album this day.
FACT: The Spice Girls release Spiceworld, their second number one album, making the group the first British band since The Beatles to have two albums in the US chart at the same time.

MistaCrave

Remember when in the other list I told you he left Take That. Well, no rest for the wicked. Yoko Ono released an album 2 days before, which doesn't mean you should feel better about it.
FACT: 1 week before, in the UK, BMG becomes the first major label to release a compact disc with copy protection, Natalie Imbruglia's White Lilies Island. Within two weeks BMG announces they will re-issue the disc without the copy protection, due to complaints from consumers who were unable to play the CDs in their personal computers. | 4 | | OutKast ATLiens

owen
August 3rd 1994
Happy b-day Owen, have a Rotting Pinata! Also Melvins released an album. It was called "Prick" which I obviously wasn't gonna link it to your entry. Actually, I haven't jammed it yet...

One day after U2 released "Zooropa" which was... pretty forgettable.
FACT: 3 days after, singer Mia Zapata of punk band The Gits is found dead after being beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled in the Capitol Hill district of Seattle. Her murder goes unsolved for a decade until DNA evidence leads to an arrest and conviction. Terrible. | 10 | | Luka Bloom The Acoustic Motorbike
Kris.

LandDiving
Oct. 13th 199...2?
Totally random I know, but I had to look for an album released on this very day, so 92 was the first option.
FACT: In that case, 1 month before, Frank Zappa, in his final professional public appearance, conducts the Ensemble Modern at the Frankfurt Festival in Germany. Zappa, who is seriously ill with prostate cancer, receives a 20-minute ovation. | 12 | | Cherry Poppin Daddies Rapid City Muscle Car
Devastator
Dic. 26th 1994
This terribly, terribly, terribly named band released an album 9 days before your birthday and that was the closest I could find. Sure, some obscure underground grindcore band released smth this day but... ahm... yeah.
FACT: The dates are not very clear, but Wolfsbane lead singer Blaze Bayley auditions and is hired by Iron Maiden, at least, on this year. | 13 | | Kreator Extreme Aggression

Danred97
May 2nd 1997

FACT: 5ive's musical career begins after auditions are held in London, UK to find potential band members, with over 3,000 hopefuls showing up to audition. Jon Secada, Michael Bolton and Jon Bon Jovi didn't get past the first round of selection. | 15 | | Devo Smooth Noodle Maps
AaroN911
July 1st 1990
Summer of '90 brings you and a new Devo album one day after. Also my favourite Suicidal Tendencies album was released a few days later: "Lights, Camera, Revolution!"
FACT: 1 day before, Knebworth 1990 is held, a one-off festival at Knebworth Park, England in support of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Participating musicians had all been winners of the Silver Clef Award. The acts included headliners Pink Floyd, Genesis, Robert Plant, Elton John, Dire Straits, Status Quo, Eric Clapton and others. Elton John was not attacked by grasshoppers this time. | 16 | | Grateful Dead One from the Vault
wham49
August 17th 1975
As Wham49 researched himself, the same month in 75 "Born to run", "Dreamboat Annie", and Ritchy Blackmore's "Rainbow" were released.
FACT: A couple of weeks after, huge releases happened: Kiss' "Alive", Pink Floyd's "Wish You were here", Scorpions' "In Trance", and Rush' "Caress of Steel".

"Blood Sugar Sex Magik", the Red Hot Chili Peppers album, was also released on 1 month before. | 18 | | NOFX So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes

FACT: ! week after, American indie rock band Modest Mouse release their second full-length album, "The Lonesome Crowded West", and a few days before The Spice Girls make the decision to take over the running of the group and drop Simon Fuller as their manager. And look what happened. | 19 | | The Gathering Mandylion
robertsona
August 22nd 1995
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, NOFX, Dishwalla and Tindersticks also released albums the very same day.
FACT: Rancid release their third studio album "...And Out Come the Wolves". Along with Green Day's "Dookie" and The Offspring's "Smash" (both released a year before), this album helped revive mainstream popular interest in punk rock in the mid-1990s, and becomes one of the best-selling independent records of all time. "...And Out Come the Wolves" eventually goes platinum. | 20 | | Spin Doctors Turn It Upside Down
frozencarl
June 16th 1994
You were sandwiched between the release of Pansy Division's "Deflowered" and Japanese band Ghost's "Temple Stone".
FACT: 3 weeks before, The Eagles launch the Hell Freezes Over tour in Burbank, California. The reunion tour is the group's first since breaking up in 1980, but much is also made of the band becoming the first to charge over $100 per ticket for arena shows. I guess that has to do with the fact that you are frozen, Carl ;) | 21 | | Deicide Legion
Hawks
June 10th 1992 (assuming date format)
Just one day before, Hawks, I guess is a proper fit.
FACT: Few days after, guitarist Stefanie Sargent of up-and-coming punk rock band 7 Year Bitch dies of asphyxiation after returning home from a party in which she had drunk alcohol and taken a small amount of heroin. She was 24. | 22 | | Toto The Seventh One
Divaman

If that is correct, Toto released one of their best albums 6 days before, and 20 days later Pixies released "Surfer Rosa".
FACT: 2 weeks later, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony inducts The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Drifters, Bob Dylan and The Supremes. | 23 | | Manowar Sign of the Hammer

rifkadm
Nov. 11th 1994
Absolutely right, a Sade compilation was released the day after. And yes, who the hell are Guster? 1 month before though, Korn released their debut, so there is that.
FACT: A couple of weeks after, The Breeders guitarist Kelley Deal is arrested at her Ohio home after accepting a private-courier package containing four grams of heroin. | 25 | | Fugees The Score
ArsMoriendi
Feb. 11th 1996

VirtualBlaze
April 29th 2000
4 days before Cypress Hill released their 5th, but also Toni Braxton, Neil Young and Papa Roach published seldom albums. (You didn't think I was gonna forget about Papa Roach, did you? ;)
FACT: Speaking about Neil Young, a $1.8 million civil fraud lawsuit was filed against Neil Young in Los Angeles Superior Court by a former Village Voice writer a few days after your birth day. The lawsuit charged that Young broke an agreement to have a biography written about him when he blocked the book's publication. I guess Neil has enough secrets to keep. | 27 | | Godspeed You! Black Emperor Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada
Kompys2000
March 5th 1999
There was quite some movement in that week. Silverchair, Kula Shaker and Stereophonics all released albums 3 days later.
FACT: The very same day you were born, Trauma Records filed a $40 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against the members of Bush for failing to deliver a new album. They should have actually paid them that money as thanks for not releasing the aforementioned album. Gavin would fulfill his revenge releasing "The Science of Things" a few months later. | 28 | | Great White Hooked
gagnonov
Feb 27th 1991
The flamboyant glam rockers released "Hooked" just one day before and exactly one week before, the legendary Butthole Surfers would release "Piouhgd" to the world.
FACT: This very same day, James "Sex Machine" Brown is granted an early parole and released from jail, following his arrest after a high-speed car chase through two states in 1989. Pop Will Eat Itself documented the affair with their song, "Not Now James, We're Busy". This would be one of many car chases stunts performed by the funk god. (See 70 in the first list). | 29 | | Boards of Canada Aquarius
MayhemWithMercy
December 30th 1997
No interesting releases to be found on the same day you were born Mayhem, as it is normal around the end of the year, although 1 week after, notorius scottish duo Boards of Canada released their 3rd EP.
FACT: 1 day after though, and I hope you don't like country music, the Home of Country Music, the Opryland USA theme park, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA closed and was subsequently demolished. It was a sad day for Boney. | 30 | | Type O Negative Slow, Deep, and Hard
Hovse
June 14th 1991
Brooklyn's masters of doom Type O Negative debuted the day you were born. A Foreigner album called "Unusual Heat" and a Frank Zappa live album called "You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 4" would also be released on the same day.
FACT: Just 1 week before, ABC (American Broadcast Company) revived the late-night rock performance series of "In Concert".
