You might think Hollywood heartthrob Chris Pratt and the open-source content management system Joomla have absolutely nothing in common. One blasts aliens across galaxies; the other powers websites across the internet. But hold onto your mixtapes, because the universe is smaller (and nerdier) than you think.

6 Degrees of Separation: Chris Pratt <--> Joomla Edition.

Step 1: Chris Pratt

We kick off our cosmic journey with none other than Chris Pratt, the charming goofball who stole our hearts (and a few space orbs) as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Step 2: Guardians of the Galaxy Soundtrack

If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know the real star isn’t the raccoon or the tree—it’s the soundtrack. The Awesome Mix Vol. 1 is a time capsule of '70s hits, kicking off with a melancholic banger…

Step 3: "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc

That’s right, the first song in the movie is “I’m Not in Love” by British art-rock band 10cc. Smooth, dreamy, and emotionally unavailable - just like every Marvel character by movie three.

Step 4: 10cc Recorded at Strawberry Studios

Where did this sonic masterpiece come to life? Strawberry Studios in Stockport, UK. It was 10cc’s HQ, laboratory, and hit factory, long before Spotify playlists were a thing.

Step 5: Strawberry Studios Was Home to… Joomla?

Enter the plot twist: The office where I bashed on the keyboard and sat on phone calls, being the mid-point between Australia and USA, for all the key founding moments of Joomla was in Strawberry Studios.

The recording desks had long been removed but the signatures of all the bands that recorded there were still on the ceiling and superfans still waited to have their photograph taken on the same doorstep that Paul McCartney played guitar.

Step 6: Joomla Powers the Web

From an office once filled with the ghosts of classic rock, Joomla was born. It grew into one of the world’s leading open-source CMS platforms - powering millions of websites across the globe.

Bonus Level: Cosmic Connections

So there you have it. From a galaxy far, far away (okay, Marvel-owned) to the very websites you're browsing today, Chris Pratt and Joomla are connected through a quirky, music-soaked thread of history.

Proof that even in our vast digital universe, we’re all just six degrees away from something (or someone) awesome.

Moral of the story?

Never underestimate the power of mixtapes, recording studios, or obscure office rentals. They might just link your favourite actor to your favourite CMS.

Now go update your Joomla site and maybe throw on some 10cc while you're at it.
