Anderson Paak just recently got this tattooed on him [1] “When I’m gone, please don’t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached. Those were just demos and never intended to be heard by the public”

John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats feels similarly: https://twitter.com/mountain_goats/status/142810427641747456...

He values his editorial ability - including choosing not to release things.
