Play That Funky Music, Wine Boy

Be the DJ Night at Bin No. 18

“Just Like Heaven,” The Cure
“Umbrella,” Rihanna
“Kiss on My List,” Hall & Oates
“New Slang,” The Shins
“Girlfriend,” Avril Lavigne

You can tell a lot about people by their playlists. (Judging from the one above, we’re guessing: “Nostalgic pop culture aficionado with an affinity for mustaches, Garden State, and dancing alone in the bedroom.”)

Forget the eyes: Music is the window to one’s soul, so head to wine bar Bin No. 18 tonight — and every Tuesday — for their Be the DJ event. Owner and chef Alfredo Patino left his post in the kitchen long enough to purchase mixing equipment of another kind.

All you have to do is show up with five CDs and some balls — hey, it’s a bold move to admit you still own (and listen to) MC Hammer — and you can play whatever you want. Even “U Can’t Touch This.”

That is, if you don’t mind everyone knowing you can do the running man.

Be the DJ takes place Tuesday nights at Bin No. 18, 1800 Biscayne Boulevard (786-235-7575).
