Home Page Opens in New Window

I'm using IE 8 on Windows XP.  For some reason, after the site re-design recently, whenever I select to load my playlist (1) a pop-up indow with my station opens [this I am expecting] and then (2) another version of the homepage opens in a new browser [this I am not expecting].  I'm not too sure why it does that.  I imagine that they are tying to prevent you from bookmarking your station page directly, without going to the homepage (they want to make sure you open that), but the home page should always target the same window name, to prevent duplicate windows from being created.

Does anyone else have this problem?
