Since September 2008 the Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio, has presented an Andy Warhol exhibition called "Other Voices, Other Rooms". In addition to showcasing Warhol's art, the exhibition also had an extensive musical component, including presenting Dean & Britta's 13 Most Beautiful...

Pat Radio recorded the show; the set list is below the link.
