Comment:

 What is actually wrong with the_date() / is_new_day() ? Can you provide
 some back story?

 Its been discussed before about the_date() not always echo'ing, The answer
 has been that themes rely on the current result, as such, changing it to
 always output is not ideal, as it'll break a lot of themes. the_time() can
 always be used to display the date on each post, you simply need to pass
 the "time format" (which can include date markers) as the first parameter.
