the brakes are just very grabby....its not really a problem as it is a nuissance. if it bothers you that much you can try to have the rotors resurfaced and/or replace the pads. if you drive spiritedly...is that a word? you could polish up your rotors and have heat marks. the brakes will be a bit more 'grabby' like this. a cleaner/smoother mating surface will fix it up. but if you continue to drive like you do....it'll happen again

Keep in mind the brakes are vacuum-boosted. There's a chance you have a slight vacuum leak and you're hearing a "fart" when you hit or release the brakes. It's a slight chance but keep it in the back of your mind.
