The UK government has been kind enough to provide 190 iconic rock locations, which was a good place to start, although this guy has dismissed it as "rubbish."
It also lead me to this fantastic account from a guy who worked at a record exchange called Reckless Records, a London institution until it shut down under pressure from the internet. It seems to have been the inspiration for Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, and the subsequent movie of the same name starring John Cusack, probably one of my Top 10 Favourite Movies Ever.
It also reminded me of Liv Tyler's fantastic teenage angst film Empire Records, another favorite.
Both of the films are set in the US, but I'm going to go find them both on iTunes and have some viewing material to help me get into the spirit on my way back to Hyderabad.
Rock on,
Sara
