I believe the answer is:

tin whistle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blow me' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'new hit list prepared?' is the wordplay.
'prepared?' indicates an anagram.
'new'+'hit'+'list'='newhitlist'
'newhitlist' with letters rearranged gives 'TIN WHISTLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tin whistle that I've seen is " Cheap, six-holed metal flageolet".)
