We continue rolling down our most-watched Eggs of 2010 with a look back at Dave King’s weekend at the Walker Art Center and one of the hits of from the 2010 Minnesota Fringe — Tom Reed’s “Bite Me, Twilight!”

No. 5 most-viewed Egg:

King and His Court

Dave King is the Twin Cities’ most musical drummer and at the center of the Twin Cities’ avant garde jazz scene. This weekend the Walker Art Center is giving you double doses of King — nearly every band or project he performs with will be on stage. In March, 3-Minute Egg took you somewhere the Walker won’t — inside King’s car, along with his rehearsal studio, as his newest group (featuring former Husker Du bassist Greg Norton) prepared a song for the concert.

No. 6 most-viewed Egg:

Fringe Fest: ‘Bite Me, Twilight’

Tom Reed delivered a surprise hit at the 2009 Fringe Fest with sendup of the Harry Potter series of films and books. He returned this past summer with a musical interpretation and parody of the Twilight series of young adult vampire fodder. 3-Minute Egg dished up the show and tell.
