Dragon Song

Very cool shop with a great selection. The owner shopped at the grocery store I worked at and gave me his card, after checking it out I can’t resist going back every here and there to check for a couple of hard to find records. Definitely worth checking out.

This is such a great little place.
Vinyl records, shirts, whatnots, posters, incense and more. It’s the perfect place to come for your deadhead needs.
I spent a decent amount of time looking around and left with a good handful of items.
A good experience. I will be back.

I have been searching for a new store to get some records that has a wider variety and heard such great reviews of Dragon Song so I decided to give it a try. Driving down the area I would have never guessed there would be a hidden gem like Dragon Song off of the busy road.
The atmosphere is great, as soon as you walk in there is a wonderful scent of incense and even a greeting from the owners dog. The owner is wonderful, he instantly makes you feel comfortable and is very knowledgable about music and is more than willing to recommend music that help you discover new music.
The store sells a variety of things such as records, CD’s, shirts, incense etc. The variety of records at the store is great a wonderful collection of the classics a great way to get started on collecting. Many classics and even a couple modern. The store has two sections for records one is for the new records and then there are the used ones. The used records are ALL listened by the owner and rated by short hands, VG= Very Good, that he will gladly explain to you. He is also constantly putting out used record so there will be different records each time you visit. The CDs are bountiful and organized and there is just so much that it’s a great collection. Overall, a great atmosphere, wonderful owner, and very organized! I would recommend this store to anyone and I will be a regular from now on.

Records? Perfect. Service? Phenomenal. Dogs? Wonderful. This is a creatively put together little place run by a nice man and his two dogs.

I took a chance today… I drove over to Samantha’s Corner (off of Mathis Avenue, next to Synergy) to see if by chance, Dragon Song was still around. There it was, open sign glowing, drawing me in! As I approached the entrance I hoped that this newer location hadn’t lost that heavy, musky aroma of mixed varieties of incense. To my excitement, it had not! One great tune after another was music to my ears. I actually caught myself singing out loud!
The store was clean, easily accessible, had a good selection, and the gentleman behind the counter (and his K-​9 friend) were pleasant.

This is a new location for Dragon Song — although they’ve been at this location for a number of years now — many moons ago they were located in a small house off of Route 28 in the Yorkshire/​Manassas Park section.
Dragon Song carries used CDs, cassette tapes, and LPs — yes that’s right — real vinyl albums! They also carry an assortment of other things: incense, figurines, wall tapestries and such. I believe you can bring in your used CDs, tapes, and albums and sell them to Dragon Song, I’d check on the details first before hauling a bunch of stuff over there. The proprietor of the shop was telling me that he is seeing a huge resurgence in vinyl.
I used to visit the old location — this was my first time at the new location — and quite frankly — until I stumbled across the new location, I thought they had gone out of business!
Very cool shop!
