Totally Fuzzy MP3Blog Search
"Search well over 1300 Music Blogs from here. Credits go to herr k for the OPML files and to gravybread for his mega mp3 site list http://gravybread.wordpress.com/mega-mp3-site-list/ used to doublecheck and verify the OPML listed sites. Without Powermarks (powermarks.com) this would have taken a couple of weeks instead of one very long day."
New Wave Outpost - Obscure 80's Song Clips
"...song clips of obscurities and lost treasures from vinyl records, representing a sampling of some of the great forgotten music of the new wave era, in my opinion. These clips are long enough to hear the verse and chorus—a vast improvement over the standard 30-seconds-or-less snippets offered by most online music stores."

Audiobaba | Music Search
"Audiobaba is a next generation music search engine that allows you to find songs by acoustic similarity." Only plays 30 second samples. Artists can upload music, so it might be a way to discover independent artists, if you don't mind sorting through the haystack. Shows album covers which is kind of cool.
