Pitchfork

Pit stains: they're a plight on the t-shirt wearer. Yet, every time you see James Murphy donning his "No Moët, No Showet" tee, any and all traces of that telltale antiperspirant remainder and unfortunate brownish-orange tinge are gone. A liberal splash of bleach in the pre-rinse? A trusty laundry service, maybe? What's his secret?

James and his LCD Soundsystem will tear through pack after pack of V-necks as, again, they've loosened the belt on their summer-spanning world tour. After hipping real live American teenagers to the scum they are at a few gigs later this week, they'll migrate to largely Eurasian locales for a systematic conquest of many of the world's finer festivals. Black tie, we'll assume, is optional... though we suspect James has a tuxedo t-shirt should the occasion arise.
