"Wilco": Means "I understand your transmission and I will comply with your request." (WIL = will, CO = comply)

Is the beeping in their songs some type of hidden message?

| 3. Which album are you referring to? |
|
Because their last couple of albums contained those beeps, if I remember correctly.
As for why they do it, maybe it's just experimentation. They've already gone from alt-country to power pop to their current phase.

Perhaps I'm not in step with the times, but all of the Wilco I've heard is pretty folksy alt-country stuff.

| 7. Yeah, this is.. and then there is all kinds of electronic |

"beeping" for lack of better term. It just seems so out of friggin place. But then again, I dislike electronic generated sounds.
Maybe this will grow on me.

I liked YHF better than A Ghost is Born, although AGIB is still very good.
"Being There" is probably your best bet. It's got a little bit of everything, but no beeping that I can recall.
