Ron Laffitte signed Spoon to Elektra for the band’s second full-length, A Series of Sneaks, a phenomenal work of succinct, smart rock songs that traveled further away from the Pixies and closer to the distinctive sound Spoon later built.
Soon after signing the band, however, Laffitte dropped Spoon, resulting in the vengeful Agony of Laffitte EP, an admirable attack on Laffitte (which was first released on Saddle Creek, and in 2002 attached to the Merge re-issue of A Series of Sneaks).

 Gimme Fiction, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
On "30 Gallon Tank" from Series of Sneaks, the 1998 album that ended Spoon's star-crossed major-label flirtation, the band stretched a tremoloed guitar, a bass wobble, a snare-heavy beat and Daniel's rhythmic chanting into four minutes of near-perfection — without recording a single excess note.

(Nearly every Spoon song is mid-tempo — in fact, there isn't a single ballad or rocker on Gimme Fiction; every song falls somewhere in-between.) "I Turn My Camera On" moves as if jittering on a fulcrum, rocking from side to side with the ever-shifting weight of Daniel's staccato guitar chugs and Jim Eno's snare thwacks.
