The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Announce
Higher Than The Stars EP Plus The Single Come Saturday
Not content to rest on the laurels of having one of the best and most talked-about albums of 2009, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are back with the Higher Than The Stars. The EP features four brand-new songs that do what the band does best – breathe fresh life into indie-pop with their exuberance, charm and of course quality tunes.
Higher Than The Stars races along on arpeggiated keyboards and quickly strummed guitars, a perfect pop
nugget that could be ripped from Robert Smith‘s songbook. Its unstoppable energy is pure Pains, though,
and the band hopes to see a lot of ear-to-ear grins when the band busts the EP out on tour.

For six years, Wired magazine’s Found page has shown our best guess at what lies over the horizon, from touchscreen windshields to organ farming. Now, we’re inviting readers to help create Found pages: What do you think our world will look like in 10, 20 or 100 years?
Each month, we’ll propose a scenario, and present some initial ideas and concepts. Then it’s up you: Sketch out your vision, and upload your ideas (below). We’ll use the best suggestions as inspiration for a future Found page, giving kudos to contributors. We’ll add our favorite submission to this story.
This month’s assignment: Imagine the future of game shows. Today’s contests range from Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? to Date My Mom. What sorts of questions or challenges will the contestants of tomorrow face?
You can write your ideas, but we’re keen on getting visual entries. These CC-licensed photos on Flickr may fire your imagination, and give you some fodder for remixing your own predictions:

Use the Reddit widget below to submit your best idea and vote for your favorite. The image must be your own — submitting it gives us permission to use it on Wired.com and in Wired magazine. Please submit relatively large images (ideal size is 800 to 1,200 pixels, or larger on the longest side). Include a description of your idea and how you made it.
We don’t host the images, so upload it somewhere else and submit a link to it. If you’re using Flickr, Picasa or another photo-sharing site to host your image, provide a link to the image, not to the photo page where it’s displayed. If your photo doesn’t show up, it’s because the URL you have entered is incorrect. Make sure it ends with the image file name (xxxxxxx.jpg).
Check this page over the next few weeks to vote on new submissions, and look for an update announcing our favorite.
