Corin Tucker talks record collection/music:

Even more than the records, the live experience of that band was so incredibly visceral. Like, I never didn't cry at their shows. Most of my friends and I would have tears streaming down our faces when they played those songs. It was a really intense time, and they were marking this space for women to say that we are these total natural forces to be reckoned with; we're sexual beings that are ready to battle for our own territory. There was a sort of cultural battle that took place at their shows, and that's incredibly dramatic when you're 20 years old. Everything is heightened to the most dramatic extreme, and it was a really powerful song.

...constructive mentorship relationships among music writers

reportorial (probably not a word) curiosity should set you out, angling for conversations and/or minor relationships/advice from writers you admire. if you're a writer someone admires, be open to that, please.

it's becoming extinct, as criticism and journalism become less valued.

can you write about something before anyone else does?

can you host the first MP3?

can you rip someone's record to shreds, or snark about someone not quite as in touch as you are?

can you write something true? (this one is probably most important)
