1. Folk Yeah!

   

   The music video begins rather innocently: two pretty girls, a tall blonde with a guitar and a petite brunette with a ukulele, smile sweetly and sing an ode to blossoming romance. “And like can lead to like-like/And like-like can lead to looove,” they coo. “Sure as the stars above/I’d really like to fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.” Oh! But that’s as raunchy as it gets; the comedy folk duo, who go by the name Garfunkel & Oates, drop F-bombs and bon mots about life and love without shedding so much as a sweat- er vest. In their sardonic songs, Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel, left, 30) and Kate Micucci (Oates, 29) often poke fun at the pitfalls of dating, like one-night stands, “douche-bag- gy guys,” and third wheels (“It’s fi nally you and me and me and you/Just us…and your friend Steve”). “We get a lot of material from crazy dates,” admits Micucci.

2. Bread Winners

   

   In a crappy economy, eating lunch out or ordering it in goes from daily habit to budgetbreaking luxury. But bringing a PB-and-J to work every day is a total downer. Why not brown-bag in style with these delectable sandwich ideas?

3. Salt Lake City, Utah

   

   Once you arrive in Salt Lake City, you can’t escape the stunning view of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. In the winter, they’re home to what locals call “the greatest snow on earth,” and thousands flock to ski and snowboard on their freshly powdered slopes. But epic outdoor recreation isn’t all this big city full of small-town charm has to offer. Despite being the headquarters of the Mormon church, SLC isn’t some backwards town packed with religious zealots. Utah’s capital actually has an awesome underground scene teeming with cheap, locally brewed beer, vegan diners, hole-in-the-wall music venues, and tons of shops selling handcrafted goodies.
