I own Som Records in DC and have to chime in. I've been record shopping in DC since 1988 and can give you a pretty good rundown (non-biased IMHO) of all the DC shops:Orpheus - best overall used selection in town although a bit pricey and a bit random pricewise (colored stickers that only indicate a "range" of prices) at times. no listening stations.
Joe's - Also a great selection which sometimes means you have to weed through a lot to find gold. Good prices and steady new arrivals. Only negative is distance from central DC and lack of Metro access.
Crooked Beat - (my old store). Best selection of new/sealed vinyl in the area. Great for rock, punk and reggae. Not as good for soul, jazz and hip-hop. Great for rare DVD's as well.
Memory Lane - Best store for rare jazz, soul and funk. Expensive but generally worth it. Strong 7" selection as well.
Road House Oldies - Best store for 7"s in the area. Very strong in soul and funk but have found the occassional garage gem in here for cheap.
Som Records (my new shop) - Best shop for international LP's (Brazilian, Latin, African and reggae), disco, house and hip-hop 12"s. Also strong in blues, folk, country, rock, soul and jazz. compact store but not much filler. New arrivals daily.
Cheeers,
