Find photos by day or month of any year?

I had this idea that I wanted to start something like a blog that would show a photo relative to the day, week, or month. For example, today is Monday, the first of June, so I might show a photo taken on a Monday, or on the first of June, or this week, or in June.
But I've run into a brick wall in that I can't figure out how to find these photos easily, because I want to pick the photo from a single group that draws from every year in my photo archive. The available tools I have, Lightroom, Bridge, iView, and Smugmug, do not seem to let you "slice" your archive this way. For example, I would need to run searches like:
- All photos taken on any Monday from any year
- All photos taken in any June from any year
- All photos taken on any first of June from any year
- All photos taken between June 1-7 from any year
You can do it if you also specify one year, but I don't see how to do it if you want results from all years. For example, I can't get Lightroom or Smugmug to show me all photos taken only on Monday from all years, or only in June from all years. Or am I missing something?
Do I have to resort to some kind of script that processes metadata? (I'm terrible with anything resembling a command line, so I wouldn't be able to figure it out myself)
