It’s Halloween week here on The Current. Each day this week the Coffee Break will have a different spooky theme! You can even get in on the fun by sharing pictures of your pets in costumes here! 

Halloween is the season for wearing black, dark eyeliner, hanging around the cemetery, also known as the goth lifestyle…

Let’s celebrate goth lifestyle in the way we do best - with music!
