No football for me. Not sure if I can recommend these yet, because I thought I'd try something new and I'm still listening to these for the first time...

M83 "Saturdays=Youth" - Alternative, but melodic & dreamy so far.

Calexico "Carried to Dust" - Can't really clasify, but easy on the ears. I can focus on the instruments, or just let it fill in the background while I work on something.

Soon I will switch on the radio to KCRW, a great Southern California public station out of Santa Monica (they stream as well with a nice archive). Anyone as hooked on their music programming as I am?
